About J. C. Nore

After nearly 30 years in print, ranging from small-town presses to national campaigns, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for what it takes to make something big happen. Not just big in scale (though that’s kind of my thing), but big in impact.I currently serve as Director of Sales at Cascade Graphics, a legacy printer in Central Oregon known for doing large-format work with a personal touch. Think mural wraps, keg collars, stadium banners—if it’s oversized and high-impact, we’ve probably done it.Before Cascade, I spent five years in corporate America leading customer service and sales teams and working inside enterprise systems like Oracle and Salesforce. That experience sharpened the tools I use today: building scalable sales systems from scratch, managing pipelines with discipline, and driving new revenue through thoughtful outreach and smart positioning.Now, I’m back in the Pacific Northwest print scene, reconnecting with creative partners, agencies, schools, brewers, municipalities, and builders—anyone who needs printed work that actually works.I believe in long-term relationships, strategic growth, and occasionally laughing in meetings. I’m also a big fan of the big, hairy, audacious projects that drop jaws (ask me about the time we rented a warehouse to spray paint conference books, I\'ve got stories for days).Let’s connect if:You want a print partner, not just a print vendorYou’re building a brand and want the physical world to reflect itYou’re curious how print can scale with your business
