Branding Success
It’s been about 30 years since Jay started printing and selling “unofficial replica” t-shirts in the mid 80’s of his favorite skiing and skateboarding companies. Jay is a board member, referred to as “chefs” for PromoKitchen, an all-volunteer nonprofit group focused on mentorship within the promo and apparel industry. He is a highly rated industry presenter and a trainer on topics like branding, social media and LinkedIn. Jay is currently the VP of sales and marketing at Equipment Zone, founding partner at FLEXpoint and a self-proclaimed CTO: Chief Taco Officer. Jay says he found his home hanging out with the other promo peeps and apparel geeks on the island of misfit toys!
