Biography
My interest in printing started at Southern Junior High School in the Reading School District. We learned the basics of printing, and that is where my interest started. When I reached Reading High School, my interests grew even more, branching out to screen printing, offset printing, and black & white photography. My high school industrial arts teacher encouraged me to continue on to college. I attended California University of Pennsylvania, where I majored in printing. While attending Cal U., I also worked at a local print shop. After graduating, I worked for a local printer.
