“I come from an environmental conscious background and being in this industry was quite a contradiction to my beliefs; to the point where I was ready to get out of the industry. Then Jeanne came along and it “clicked” this is the reason why I should stay in the industry and this is my deeper purpose/calling of why I’m in this business. “ Brett Shaffer, Printer
