A Solid Academic Foundation in Printing Technology
Tom’s comprehensive knowledge isn't just the result of on-the-job experience. It is backed by formal academic training. He earned his Associate’s Degree in Printing Technology, an intensive program that provided him with a deep understanding of the science, math, and engineering behind commercial reproduction.
This educational background gave Tom an early mastery of color theory, substrate characteristics, ink chemistry, and precision press mechanics. In an industry that has undergone massive technological shifts, moving from traditional analog methods to high-speed digital workflows, Tom’s foundational education has allowed him to adapt, innovate, and keep 224 Graphics, Inc at the absolute cutting edge. His degree ensures that the company combines time-tested printing principles with the latest state-of-the-art graphic technologies.
Precision on the Press and the Open Road
Tom's deep appreciation for precision, fine craftsmanship, and mechanical excellence extends far beyond the production floor. Outside of the office, he is an avid car collector with a particular passion for classic American muscle and vintage automotive engineering. His impressive collection features a stunning '70 Corvette and a beautifully restored '61 Pontiac.
Maintaining, collecting, and appreciating classic cars requires the exact same traits that make Tom an exceptional CEO: an eye for authentic detail, patience, and a deep respect for well-engineered systems. Whether he is fine-tuning a high-performance engine or adjusting a complex commercial printing press for a high-stakes corporate order, Tom's dedication to quality remains exactly the same. He brings that same passion for classic excellence and smooth operation to every graphic project his team tackles.
