My career is characterized by a broad array of experience, from offset printshop, to graphic design & art direction, to training & technical support, with a current emphasis on tech support of digital print technology & variable print.I supervised a newspaper layout group, ran a small offset press, and worked for a large commercial printer prepping film and plates. At Kodak, I began in document design. With a penchant for technology & design, I was soon a technical lead for software & hardware maintenance, and a design advisor to my peers.I developed an interest in digital print technology where I supported the scientists developing electro-photographic digital systems.After the sale of my unit to Danka, I took an opportunity at Xerox as a graphic designer and within a year was promoted to art director. I created advertising pieces, technical booth design, and built web sites for internal customers.Corporate changes led me back to Kodak's NexPress to become an application & color support specialist. I enjoyed a wide variety of projects requiring subject matter expertise, such as developing & delivering specific on-site workflow training products. The unique Kodak NexPert Variable Digital Print professional service & consulting program was highly valued by our customers. My strong design experience led me to be technical lead for US sales of DirecType image personalization software, developing a CBT DVD & on-site training. I was privileged to be the support lead on Kodak's unique digital printing breakthrough, NexPress Dimensional Ink, providing training videos and materials. In 2010, I moved to Dayton OH as a color & application support engineer for the launch of yet another new technology poised to revolutionize print with Kodak Prosper Press, a high speed color inkjet solution unique in the industry.
