I have a diverse background which ranges from sign making/design to screen printing to pre-press. I wish to use all my

accumulated experience that I have and share it with one employer. I have been engaged in the Graphic arts for over 25

years. My present position is rewarding, however I believe it is an appropriate time to move on. It would be appreciated

in treating my inquiry confidentially.

Objective: To establish a long working relationship with an employer.
