An Engineering graduate from McGill University, I have been associated with the Printing and Packaging industry for about 30 years. I have managed businesses encompassing most of the forms of printing, flexo, offset, gravure and screen on equipment from A3 size to large format offset presses and 1270 wide flexo presses so I understand the issues facing Printers from both a technical and a managerial perspective. In all of the businesses I have managed there have always been problems relating to Customer/Job management. I have employed computers to help solve these problems since the early 80�s, building my first computer based estimating system for flexo in 1982 on a Commodore Pet computer we had in the QC lab. In 1990 I founded my own consultancy dedicated to the development of advanced management systems for business. Since 1995 I have been associated with PrintPoint, firstly in a technical support role here in Australia, then as distributor and as a major contributor to the development of this great product. Outside of PrintPoint, I am a keen tennis player and captain a competition team. Family is important but ours is grown up and producing grandchildren, so we get to send them back after enjoying their company. |
