Tell us a bit about your background. Why did you decide to create your own print media company?

In 1984 as a student at the University of Texas at Austin, I started a college guidebook titled The Student Guide to the Best in Austin. After graduating, I began publishing Study Breaks Magazine, a monthly college entertainment magazine for students.

In 1999, I purchased a five-color web press to print my own magazine. We had some extra press time, so we started to reach out to other publishers to do their printing. What started out as a hobby has now grown into a printing, publishing, and media company that continues to deliver smart, funny, and relevant content for college students, while providing printing services for hundreds of other publishers.

Our brand promise is simple: Hassle-Free. That means guaranteed on-time delivery, world-class communication. (including ideas that help them become better, smarter publishers), and no errors or surprises.
