Life is good for Vessell. He’s surrounded by family and is working a job he couldn’t be happier with. Even though he went to school for economics and would be working in financial management had he not gotten into printing, he is sure he made the right decision.

“I enjoy what I do. I get a lot of gratification from the work we do for Missouri State,” he says, adding, “I’ve been here too long to leave.”
