Porter and Griffin Printers & Lithographers Inc 1973- 1982
Floor boy, Press Feeder, Delivery Driver, Bindery Helper, Pressman,
Salesperson Assistant to President. During Summers starting in 1972
- 1976 I worked at my Dads Printing business as a Floor boy, Printing
Press Feeder, Printing Pressman, Bindery Helper & Delivery Driver. Of
course, when I was not working at my Dads Company I was enrolled in
College pursuing a degree with an emphasis in the Printing Industry
After my graduation from College in August of 1977 with a Degree in
Industrial Technology with an Option in Printing Management from Cal
State Los Angeles my Dad made me an offer I could not refuse. His job
offer to me was to promote me from the green uniform working on the
Production Floor to the role of being his Personal Assistant and Salesperson.
Being all of 21 I had never sold anything in my life and knew
nothing about sales but I did understand a bit about printing and what
it took to deliver a quality printed piece from business cards to annual
reports.
