It is a GOOD DAY when I can use my expertise to help my clients have success. In my toolbox is high quality, low-cost printing. It is actually quite easy for me to find a better way that usually includes a better price. My clients get the widest equipment mix, from a digital press to the large 28x40 6 color Komori, foil/emboss, die-cut, stitch, perfect bind, plasticoil, pocket folder gluer+++. Headquartered in the Spokane WA area, serving the North West Region. * I do my own estimating, so I frequently see a creative way to help, either on a better price, a better product ...or both. It also helps with those quick quotes needed "right now". * I manage print projects $500-$80,000, from creation to completion. I advise on size optimization, QC considerations, production management, and fulfillment implementation. Being around great marketers all my career I frequently have marketing suggestions as well.It really helps to have worked in all aspects of printing. I have seen 20,000+ jobs go through my fingers. That gives me a resource library of great ideas to put at your service. * I have taken jobs that were canceled due to over-budget costs. Once allowed to consult on their objectives, together we worked out an Award Winning product $1000's under budget and made a very happy client.

A high-quality print facility that developed young men into leaders. Started from a garage to a three-shift, 45 person plant in San Diego. An R&D leader in printing; MIS/Data Collection systems, Stochastic printing, and QC systems. I ran all types of production equipment from prepress to the bindery. I developed production control systems as well as training from the ground up to supervision, HR, MIS, insurance, legal issues, ESOP, estimating, and closed-loop Budgeted Hourly Rates. Tackled whatever needed to get done and became adept at problem-solving and really started to enjoy it.
