Meet Denis, head of the Accounting team and working at Prometour since November 2008. An avid sports fan, you know that if Denis is not in his office he must be out on his daily walk! Read below to learn more about this vital member of the Prometour team.

Tell us about yourself !

I am from the south shore of Montreal-Beloeil, a small town close to the St-Hilaire Mountain.

I graduated from Sherbrooke University in Business administration. I like to practice sports.  I play tennis, bicycling and jogging. I also like reading.

What was the craziest thing that has ever happened to you while traveling?

When I traveled to Atlantic City, at the beginning of my trip, I lost my wallet (cash, ID cards, C/C…) and my car keys. After realizing it was missing, I went back inside to the slot machine where I had left my wallet last, and to the security desk, but nothing!  After a stressful hour, I went back and found out a client/tourist had brought it back with everything inside, no money was missing! There are still honest people in the world (in Atlantic City anyway!)
