- How You Got Involved In Letterpress Printing
- It has been a family trade since the 1970's. I am now a 3rd generation printer that has been exposed to printing since birth. From falling asleep as baby, listening to the monotonous sounds of printing machines to becoming a part of the business, bringing in new ideas and methods of printing as an adult. Being a letterpress printer was pretty much set in stone.

- Heidelberg Windmill 10 x 15 red ball, Unknown Standing Floor Unit 8" x 10", Kelsey Excelsior 5 x 8, Adana 5 x 8
- Education & Training
- Apprentice for 2 years with a printer of 60 years experience from Kok Wah Press / Fook Kee.
- Work History
- I have 14 Years of Printing knowledge and experience. Currently, a consultant to many design firms in Singapore. While running corporate jobs to fund the company, I frequently hold large events for the general public as well as those in print industry. My goal is to bridge the gap between that of the Designer and Printer.
- Other Interests & Hobbies
- Ever since the arrival of my son Tyler. I have dedicated most of my free time to him. I take him out to sea on our little boat as often as I can, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
