Let me take the time and introduce myself. I have been a member since June of 3013 but never posted in this section. My name is Sean Beuque ( Pronounced BOO-QUH )I am 42 years old and a father of a 2.5 year old son Jayden Michael Beuque. I joined the Navy in 1989 for college money and was Honorably discharged in 1993 with a medical discharge. I used my Navy benefits to go to school for civil engineering. I graduated University of New Hampshire in the year 1998 with a degree in Bachelor of Engineering with a minor in chemistry.
From there I worked with a engineering/ geotechnical firm for a little under 3 years. I left my career and started a car crushing operation which I owned and operated for 4 years. I eventually diversed into Electronic recycling because it was more interesting and seemed more profitable. I owned and operated my own E-waste recycling company ( Manch-Vegas Salvage ) with six employees for approximately 7 years before accepting a position with Phoenix Group Metals To create, Operate and manage their E-Waste divisions for all four of their locations across the USA.
Because of my schooling and Background in chemistry I have always had a fascination with all aspects of precious metals. So I have always had a small lab set up where separate and refine precious metals. I am in the process of writing a lamens terms book for the beginner E-Waste scrapper. It’s a book with EVERYTHING one would need to know to start. From where to find and buy your product , How to identify your product , How to separate your product and finally to the people who will buy your product. I am not expecting to have the book completed for at least Another year maybe MORE.
Although I work with computers and electronic I am not the most computer savvy person when it comes to PRACTICAL usage. I have been a member of the GFR for about six or seven years but it mostly been for research and comparative methods rather than a site where I post a lot.
I just recently posted a Business thread on this site. The reason for this wasn’t because I need the business per say ( Because the more business the better) But it was mainly because I remember when I was just starting out with E-scrapping and it was impossible to find HONEST and Reputable buyers for my product, I was always getting screwed or I was always in the dark about everything. It took me owning a business , working un-heard of hours ( 8 hours of operations a day and another 8 hours after work of research) and losing my fiancé to get where I am today. And honestly where I am at I wish I was with my fiancé.
So all that being said I am mostly here to help with questions if I can, contribute with what I can and sometimes argue a fact or two . Although I argue I try to never get mad but if I do I NEVER hold a grudge.
Last and not least if I break any rules of the forum it’s not intentional I will learn from my mistakes.
