I’ve been in the professional T-Shirt and Promotional Products industries since 2008. I really love this industry and the many people I havemet and gotten to know through the years. So many of our clients have been loyal to me and I know it’s because of how loyal I am to t
hem. I would do anything I can to take care of the clients who trust my company for their needs. Let me tell you how I got into this bu
siness and became the “T-Shirt Dad”.
The story starts in 2007 when my wife and I were thrilled to find out that we were expecting our first child. We both decided that even though things would be tight for awhile, I should quit my job and be a stay at home dad. I was nervous and excited at the same time. In May, we had our daughter. Not too long after, my Uncle put me in contact w
ith his friend who printed shirts in his garage. My Uncle thought it could be a good business fit for me. His friend, Chach, was awesome. He helped me find and purchase the proper equipment that I would need to get started and grow my business. He lived 45 miles away and still spent the time to train and help me learn to use the equipment. In February 2008, I finally got all my permits and licences to start Revolution Screening. That first year was a learn-the-hard-way year. But I got through it. I would take care of my beautiful daughter, cook meals, be a husband, and try to keep the house clean during the day. Then at night, when everyone was sleeping, I would get printing in the garage. Man, there were some crazy long nights that often stretched into morning when my wife was getting ready for work the next day. She had to tell me to getsome sleep. I know I have clients to this day who remember our meetings with a baby, then a toddler, then a cute kinder.
In 2010, we had our boy. That was a tiring but great time. I loved when a client would call and need to meet and I got ask, “Do you mind if I bring my 2 kids with me?” Surprisingly I did not loose too many clients. Revolution Screening grew until we had to get out of the garage. My brother joined Revolution, and we started our new adventure. Unfortunately, he has mov
ed to Tennessee and is no longer part of the company.
In 2013, we incorporated and opened our storefront with a 600 square foot showroom and 4000 square foot production facility. It is also our corporate office. Revolution Screening grew and so did the kids. My daughter was in elementary school and my boy was in pre K. I was doing the gear at my daughter’s school and every year donated class shirts for both kid’s classes. I would pick up the kids and run errands and there would be people who would ask me, “are you the t-shirt dad?” It happened all the time. As the company has now expanded to Katy, TX (Houston), I am often asked the same question, “are you the T-Shirt dad?”
So there you have it, I’m the T-Shirt dad. Not by my own accord but that of those who know of me and my business. As a thanks to all those that work with me and my business, we have given back $1000’s to schools and non-profits who used us for their gear and promotional products needs. I really hope we can keep doing the same for years to come!
I’m happy to assist you
