Dwight is a retired typographer. He spent 30 years as President
of TypePros, which served printing plants and corporations in Amarillo and
the Texas Panhandle, for all of their typesetting needs.
He began his business career selling advertising for a weekly newspaper in Guymon, Oklahoma. Then he and a partner purchased a newspaper and became publishers of a county weekly.

He relinquished his ownership at the time he was drafted into
the army and served during the Korean war.
Advertising and newspapers were in his blood, and he became an advertising salesman for the Amarillo Globe-News, Amarillo, Texas. Seeking better opportunities, he left the newspaper to start a mimeograph and mailing service. This was in the infancy of the offset printing process, and it soon developed into an offset print shop.
Seeing a need for a more specialized service he focused all his attention to building a full-fledged typesetting firm. The firm grew from a one-man operation to a flourishing business serving printers and advertising agencies throughout the panhandle of Texas.
Since the computer revolution, Dwight has been heavily involved in the use of computers in the typography business. He was a pioneer in the transition of type from "hot" type, to "cold" type, and then to "photo" type, and now to "digital" production. As a pioneer in the computer revolution, his first working modem was a 300 baud model connected to a TRS-80 computer.
He has spent many thousands of hours, and dollars in pursuing his internet interests, and has become well qualified as an internet marketer.
Now, he is retired...but working! The internet opportunities are mind-boggling, and Dwight is involved in helping individuals promote various projects that lend themselves to internet sales and promotion. Although Dwight is not a golfer because of a back injury, he is an avid fan. Several of his golfing friends have expressed interest in a personalized golf trophy or certificate that could be more meaningful than a plaque that draws dust over a fireplace mantle. This is an effort to do just that. Now, golfers who make that coveted "Hole In One" can have a personalized certificate that will be theirs forever. And a new page has been added for sale of a PDF file covering essentials for being a golf marshal.
