Putting Experience To Work

Entrepreneurial Spirit

Though printing may have been his brothers' second choice, Orehowsky had already been dabbling in the trade. At 12 he had bought a small press and gone into business selling ID cards and personalized Christmas cards.

"One year I made 600 bucks doing that," he says.

His high school co-op job kept him employed for a few years after graduation, running a 40˝ Miehle flatbed letterpress. But his entrepreneurial spirit eventually inspired him to start his own company, Imperial Press, before he turned 21, and soon after he got married.
