Hello, fellow board members!
My name is Michael Fischbach, otherwise known as “Ranger.” I have been a member of the Alibaba since 2004. I live near Lexington, Kentucky, and I was born in Germany. I have been a buying agent and manufacturing representative for over 20 years. As the owner my own company, I came to Alibaba to find additional products for our customers.
My background in business covers many facets of world trade. If you were to ask which area I like, it would have to be all of them. The main thing I enjoy is working with people of all cultures and backgrounds. I enjoy helping others achieve their goals in business.
Since becoming a moderator on the boards, I have learned from others about their cultures and way of doing business, as well as giving insight into solving problems. I enjoy the open discussion of the problems that face so many new members in their quest to becoming successful business people. My hope is that anyone visiting the forums, along with the vast resources that Alibaba provides and updates, gains the understanding to complete successful business deals to achieve all of their goals.

Thanks for all your contribution to the trade community so far.![]()

Michael and the other esteemed mods are the backbone of the Forums and we are very grateful for their time and their diligence.
