Our Story
The journey that led to our small, family business was unfortunately started from the tragedy of cancer in our lives. Afflicting both founders, Doug & Kim, the impact of cancer affecting our entire family. Kim's first encounter with Breast Cancer led her through a grueling double mastectomy, triumphing over cancer initially.
However, a few years later, she faced another battle with Ureteral Cancer, undergoing yet another surgery to emerge victorious again. It was after these challenges that Doug and Kim ventured into the trucking industry, establishing their own company.
Tragically, five years later, Doug was diagnosed with Stage 3 Esophageal Cancer, enduring months with very little sustenance before his surgery, losing over 100 pounds in the process. This forced us to sell our trucking business as Doug was no longer able to drive. He was given a slim 30% chance of survival by his doctors. In the months leading up to his surgery Doug knew he had to do something to help support his family in preparation for the worst.
That is when he came to all of us with the idea of starting a T-Shirt Printing business. Doug and Kim have 3 daughters and multiple grandchildren. Doug wanted to leave behind a business that his family would be able to continue even when he is gone. Kim has a lot of experience with art & graphic design, she has been able to create hundreds of fun, unique, & cool designs. Many of which you see on this website. His daughters have been able to set up business deals, website creation & maintenance, social media, and much more!
In-fact the hardest transition was for Doug himself, he has always been a hardworking man, providing for his family. With his background it would have been easier to start a number of other businesses, such as carpentry or a mechanic shop. This business isn’t for him though, he created it for his family. Something to leave behind that could continue to sustain and even help his family prosper for many years after he is gone.
Miraculously, Doug pulled through the surgery, though the shadow of cancer lingers. Despite uncertainty, we remain indebted to the tireless efforts of cancer researchers and developers that saved Doug and Kim's lives.
