Work Experience

1995-Present, Owner, Baron Engraving

1987-1995, College Hill Engraving, Production Manager

My father purchased College Hill Engraving in 1987 as a part time side business operated out of our home. I was attending the University of Cincinnati as a freshman in 1987. By the end of 1987 the opportunity to make College Hill Engraving a full time job was obvious. I chose to leave UC for the engraving business. Over the next 8 years we grew the business to an extent that made it a great opportunity for me to purchase College Hill Engraving from my father. In September 1995 I purchased a commercial building located at 4068 W. 8th St. in Price Hill. In November of 1995 I purchased College Hill Engraving from my father. I have since grown College Hill Engraving to a business employing 7 full and part time employees. As of August 2001 I have relocated the business to a larger building located at 4131 Glenway Avenue in Price Hill.
