About Chad...
I live ~40 miles from my state capital, St. Paul, in Minnesota within the United States of America; I recently started a new job in the Information Technology department of a world renowned health organization.
I stumbled into Postcrossing because my grandmother left a large stamp collection to the family. In wanting to learn more about it, I found the Exploring Stamps YouTube channel by Graham Beck (linked below), and through that I discovered Postcrossing, which I find to be absolutely fascinating!
I think my favorite thing about Postcrossing is how it helps me learn of all the different areas and cultures around the world.
Topics I Enjoy:
- 3D Cards
- Animals (tigers are my favorite)
- Art & Drawings
- Automobiles & Motorcycles: Modern & Vintage
- Board Games & Puzzles
- Comics: Modern & Vintage (Marvel, Calvin & Hobbes, etc)
- Cyberpunk, Steampunk, & other derivatives (definitions & examples linked below)
- Fantasy & Supernatural
- Finances, Numbers, & Business
- Maps
- Music & Musical Instruments
- Outdoors & Scenery (especially your local area)
- Outer Space (do you know about astrophilately? - linked below)
- Red (anything in the color red - it's my favorite color)

However, I'm excited to receive postcards of any topic!

Side Note:
My mother plays piano and organ and has started her own YouTube channel to share music with the world. She absolutely LOVES talking with people and seeing views from other countries. So, if you also enjoy this type of music, I welcome you to check out her channel (linked below) and comment on any videos you enjoy. She responds to every one.
