Karl Lalemand is Founder & CEO of DBS-Designs by Skip, which is a division of Karl's Collectibles, which is how this all got started. Some 25 plus years ago Karl had a former employer ask him to get some information on doing customer die-cast collectible banks, and well let's say the rest, as they say, is history.

Karl's Collectibles did Custom Die-Cast Collectible banks for many Harley-Davidson dealers across America as well as Quaker Oats and Thomas Moser to name a few.

Karl is a family man, married for 32 years to JoAnne, and together they have 3 children (Jennifer, Khristopher and Kassaundra) and 3 grand kids (Dominik, Victoria and Madeline).

Karl's hobbies include frisbee golf, driving around aimlessly (so his wife says) he calls it sightseeing. And he has recently picked up a new hobby - Photography. Click HERE to see some of his handy work so far. He's been doing it for about 1 year now, and is having a lot of fun. He'd love folks to give him some pointers and suggestions on things he can do to get better. Now if there are of his photos you like, and would like to purchase, let him know which one and he'll get back to you with a price. He can print from 4" x 6" and up to 17" x 44".
