Meet the Owners

Josh and Kayla both moved here from Nebraska to purchase First Impressions Printing. Josh and Kayla are what one would call Yin and Yang in the business. Josh is more of the extrovert and has more of the sales and enjoys exploring the world of entrepreneurship, whereas Kayla is more of the introvert who has a very distinct eye for detail and enjoys the production side of the operation. Josh is a United States Army Veteran who served in Iraq in 2008-09. Once he was done with his time in the Army, Josh became a Police officer where he served for 5 years. Josh then decided he wanted to get into business ownership. Kayla was in the production doing all of the embroidery for a local promotional and apparel shop. Her attention to detail and hard work got her noticed by the current owner of that company at the time. One thing led to another and the owner of the company wanted Kayla to take over the company. Josh and Kayla decided that they could work well together in this business and decided to purchase that company together. After a couple years of getting experience under their belt they decided they wanted to try to expand into the print industry. After some research, they came upon the opportunity in Ocala, FL. With a lot of hard work and tough decision making, Josh and Kayla decided to invest in their future to purchase First Impressions Printing. Josh and Kayla have a lot of goals for the future to better serve the customer base for First Impressions Printing.
