Hello Everyone!
« on: August 18, 2011, 02:38:29 PM »
I'm new to the forum but some will remember me and vice versa!

I started screen printing in 1998 and joined the Fresner's forums shortly thereafter. Then I joined the t-shirtforums and was something like the 1200th member or there abouts. It's gotten pretty big and it's easy to get lost in the crowd!

When the Tjet came out, I began selling it for a friend of mine, but when the white ink came out, I walked away from it. I started Screener's Choice later on and offered screen printers products for screen making all the while still screen printing. I was then introduced to Belquette in Florida with the FlexiJet printer. Things didn't pan out, but I continued to grow Screener's Choice (all the way still screen printing) ;).

Several years ago, Belquette contacted me and wanted to know if I would be a part of their newest machine that they were developing. I agreed, but during the development, I still focused on Screener's Choice and still screen printed. (Get the gist?) I've been working with Belquette now selling the Mod1 for almost 2 1/2 years now, and Belquette made me an offer to relocate to Florida and work for them full time. So I sold my screen printing shop in June, moved Screener's Choice down here and continue to run it out of Belquette's offices, all the while working for them.

I've been building machines and working on troubleshooting and testing. I've learned quite a bit which helps me in the sales position I was hired for.

The story is much longer than that, but I don't have that kind of time....

Jerid, thanks for joining us. We have a few Ohioans here.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Hey, good to see you here.  How is the Mod1 doing for them?

It's actually doing very well with many advancements on the way.

I imagine I am now officially a Floridian.

Actually, it takes 20 years minimum to be a full fledged Floridian. I've been here for 14 years and am a West By God Virginian.

Thanks for playing.

I have to disagree. All one has to do to become a full-fledged Floridian is to drive like an idiot. I've been here since 1956 and I can tell you, the metamorphosis is usually quite rapid. In western North Carolina the transplants from here are called "Floridiots" . . .

This I can agree with. I can't figure out when the middle lane became the slow lane??

Well.... I've been told that some forums have really clamped down on members posts.... whole new class of "limited2" access.
I don't think that will happen here.
Face it.... this is Delta-Delta-Delta.
