Tony Cheramie was a truck driver by trade and looking to add extra income like so many of us before coming to this industry. He did a little homework and started screen printing nearly three years ago. Tony will be sharing his story… the good, the bad, the misprinted, with advice for those new to the world of garment decorating starting a business. Plus we are also joined by Scott Ritter of the Decorated Apparel Expo to get an update on their shows and what 2021 has in store for them.
