About Larry Vaughn

Paper makes the world go round. No matter what your business, you likely use a printing company, whether it’s for marketing material, service forms, or anything in between. Are you tired of over-complicated print houses? Want to be inspired to create marketing materials that match your enthusiasm for your business?As Strategic Account Executive for Thomas Printworks, my priority is finding the right printing solution for any and every business who needs us. For 26 years, I owned and operated Ideal Printers, a successful printing company in Houston. Earning a reputation as a forward-thinker and pioneer in the digital print industry, I was the first commercial printer in Texas to install an HP Indigo digital press; a new technology that would prove revolutionary to the print industry. I became a vocal advocate of the then new technology, helping to usher in a new age of print. Ideal merged with PrintMailers in 2012 to form Seebridge Media. Then, when Seebridge was acquired by Thomas Printworks 2016, I stayed on to do what I do best: working with customers and helping businesses of any size thrive.Thomas Printworks offers:⇨ Everything Print ⇨ Managed Print Services ⇨ Marketing Supply Chain⇨ Direct Response Marketing ⇨ Dynamic Digital SignageWhen I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and fishing. A huge fan of mentorship, I believe open dialogue provides a forum for shared learning and growth. I am a founding member of DPAC (Digital Print Advisory Committee) and DSCOOP (Digital Solutions Cooperative) both sponsored by HP, and am a founding member of thINK (Inkjet users group) sponsored by Canon. I have held several board positions, am a frequent keynote speaker, and have participated in session leadership for the DSCOOP and thINK conferences.I’ve had quite an interesting journey. In my memoir, “Business Cards and Shoe Leather: How dyslexia helped me found one of the world\'s premier business cooperatives,” I share how my blend of humor and wisdom guided me through my struggles and triumphs.My favorite personal quote: “When you finally get to that place where you can admit your life’s greatest failing, you’re also in a position to see the side of it that’s a strength.”If you want to:⇨ Find a cost-effective and creative printing solution ⇨ Bring me in to speak at your event⇨ Talk about how to thrive with dyslexiaVisit ThomasPrintworks.com LarryVaughn.com Email L••••••••@ThomasPrintworks.comLearn more below.Specialties: Leadership | Mentorship | Printing | Innovation | Collaboration
