Scott runs our printer machines , final layout for wide format printing , heat press operation and all overseas grey goods  procurement. When any of our print machines or presses have failures , it is Scott who fixes it with often not more than a basic tool box.  He is an engineer in the truest sense of the word. Scott's amazing work ethic keeps him working often well past midnight and on weekends. If we are presented with an order in the thousands of units, it is Scott and Rick who work closely together to put it all together and make it happen on time.
