After years of working as a communications equipment designer, machine designer in fossil fuels, equipment (electronic and mechanical), architectural designer and reaching age 62 I was sorta forced into retirement. I had been, along with my daughter, doing DTG and screen printing since 2005, when we had opportunity to purchase an existing company - they weren't doing much - and shortly after (about 6 weeks) we tripled the customer base and work and have continued to grow to our present 10 employees and nearing 1/2 Mil in billing. We are heavily involved in contract printing and our walkin retail is growing daily.
