Field of Dreams

Field’s wife of 40 years, Diane, was the driving force behind him launching his own company. He founded Continental in 1973, and Diane has served as the company’s executive vice president and treasurer from day one, managing the company’s finances and day-to-day business operations.

With just a 2,000-square-foot facility and a used two-color web press, Field was in business. He moved to a much larger facility just nine months later, installing more equipment. Even though many of the larger printers were pulling out of the area, staying in the Chicago vicinity was the best business decision Field says he ever made.
