Indiana-born with an early calling for print. First job in a screen-print shop, graphic arts courses in high school, two years at Ball State, then a transfer to Rochester Institute of Technology for a B.S. in Printing Management with a minor in Philosophy.
Career span: commercial printing, packaging, screen printing, color management, and digital printing. Two decades at a major packaging printer in California. Now back in Indiana, applying broad production and color expertise at Printing Partners.
Values: honesty, integrity, empathy, respect.
Happiest learning and mastering new pursuits with friends. Typical SUV inventory: golf clubs, bowling balls, fishing rods, a pool cue, guitars, darts, a baseball glove, woodworking tools, poker chips, and shooting gear.
Favorite place: Cape Town, South Africa—discovered while running a printing press aboard the now-retired Queen Elizabeth 2; unforgettable coast, architecture, and hospitality.
