About Our Speaker: 

International exhibitor, author and speaker, Ingo G. Nessel has been collecting stamps since childhood. While growing up in his native Montreal, early collections in the 1950’s were formed from his parents’ origin of Germany, as well as his own roots in Canada. In addition to his home club, the Bramalea Stamp Club, Ingo is Past President of the Philatelic Specialists Society of Canada; a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada and the Royal Philatelic Society London. 

He is currently Vice President at Vincent Graves Greene Philatelic Research Foundation. His collecting specialties include Hong Kong; Canada’s 1985-1991 50c Parliament Booklets; a topical collection of sheep; Queen Elizabeth stamp and Royal Household mail; and any philatelic stamp or cover that catches his fancy. He considers the acquisition and sharing of philatelic knowledge to be a delightful way to feed his passion for lifelong learning. You can follow him on Instagram @JustBeautifulStamps.
