I
Publisher’s Note
’ve worked in some exciting positions
before, including a long stint as president of
a chamber of commerce and the owner of a
modestly successful recycling center with four
locations in the Houston area, but I can’t imagine a role that comes close to the scope, complexity, and excitement of my current position
as publisher of the International (iF) Magazine
that covers Houston’s entire international communities!
It’s so great to be in a role where every minute of your day or night can be spent moving
the publication forward. We have so much experience and expertise within our publication
that there’s no problem that can’t be worked
out. One of the smartest persons I’ve ever
known once said to me, iF you want to succeed
in life or business surround yourself with quality
people and I’ve been blessed beyond my wildest imagination by doing just that with an iF
Magazine team of the highest quality. Moreover,
they have acquired the habits of commitment to
excellence that are the hallmark of those who
get out the stories readers of good publications
have become accustomed to.
As we approach the 2016 holiday season I
know that many of you will spend time with
your family and love ones, some out of country.
On behalf of the iF Magazine team I wish the
very best for our readers and the Houston international communities.
I hope you can find your own unique way of
sharing the season with others, and that you feel
the warmth of holiday joy!
