After many years experience under his belt in the industry, he decided to set up his own business in a shed in Kirra at a 'stressful $50 a week' offering art, design and offset printing and screenprinting to the surfing, churches and night club industries on the Coast - 'I remember clearly pushing boundaries with printing, I had a one colour offset press which I started doing blends of colours on 1 colour brochures/flyers - no one else was doing or could be bothered doing - it was doing things different that attracted more business'.
