- Where did you get your idea for your business or the business you'd like to start?
- I caught the Tshirt bug several years ago when I got the opportunity to work for a company called "POPTOPS". "POPTOPS" headquarted in Florida had Tshirt kioks all over the country. Customers could select "transfers" and lettering and watched as their custom Tshirt was printed. I was "hooked". Some years later I purchased my own equipment and setup shop in my basement. However, with 3 kids to raise , feed and educate I kind of made Tshirt printing my "little" side business.
For the 20 plus years I worked as a Teacher/Administrator at an inner city Catholic High School. That came to an abrupt end in 2005 when all of our city schools were closed.
So I've decided to "step out on faith" and launch my Tshirt business full swing.
