Before I owned the franchise, I was a Nuclear Cardiology Technologist for 25 years. I lost my job due to a radioactive shortage when the reactor in Canada went down.

When did you open your Minuteman Press franchise?
Mid July will be 4 years.

What does it mean to you to be recognized by Newport County Chamber of Commerce as Business of the Week?
To be recognized means I have become an integral part of the county and getting a reputation in the town for quality work, trust and gaining the respect of the community. All my hard work is paying off.

How would you describe your experience at the radio station and what was the interview like?
