Having been involved in the chair manufacturing business through high school and college, Billy was able to understand furniture and fabrics from a product and operational standpoint. Billy knows good furniture when he sees it and is often found turning a chair upside down to see if it’s well constructed. He has been exposed to all areas of furniture manufacturing and shipping throughout his career having worked in the shipping dock as a young man and later in the buying department, where he spent over 15 years at 2 reputable Montreal manufacturers.
This background has allowed him to now utilize this knowledge to improve and excel at Mayer Fabrics as an Account Manager, understanding constructing, and fabrics and the interpersonal skills required to make long lasting and trustworthy relationships with clients. Billy is a friendly, outgoing person who loves his work and is diligent and conscientious.
When not on the phone or on the road, Billy’s number one source of enjoyment comes from time spent with his wife, Rania, son Nicholas as well as their cat Harley.
Billy loves to solve puzzles, and is a big sports buff, he is meticulous when it comes to his garden and home. His other favorite activities include traveling to the island of Rhodes and (especially to his parents’ home town Tyros in Greece), playing competitive soccer, (he used to play semi-pro soccer as a forward from 1989-1996, and played pro in 1988) and skiing. He enjoys spending time at home with his wife, and occasionally entertaining friends.
Billy’s Favorite Mayer pattern is Haven which has a supple, smooth hand with a touch of elegance.
