Boyds Bears
Boyds' founder, chairman emeritus, and "Head Bean"-- the son of a German Immigrant--was born in New York City in 1949. He attended Alfred University in upstate New York to earn his B.S. (how appropriate) and an M.S. in Biology. Being a self-described "true Child of the Sixties," G.M. then joined the U.S. Peace Corps and "split" for the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific, where he did his part for World Peace. Then, for reasons still unknown (Masochism?), he returned to New York to embark upon a seven-year career at that Mecca of Merchandising...Bloomingdale's.At "Bloomies," G.M. worked in purchasing, designing, and merchandising, which exposed him to some of the fashion industry's top Clothing Designers...and also allowed him to take his next Bold Step.
Instead of continuing his successful Bloomies career, in 1979, G.M. moved to rural Boyds, Maryland, near Washington, D.C., to open an antiques shop...the beginning of The Boyds Collection.
