Simon Printing Is True Calling

Simon is the custodian, along with his brother, Nick, of the fifth generation of family owned Publishers Press of Shepherdsville, KY, a projected $160 million printer that debuted in 1866 under the guidance of his great-great grandfather, Nicholas, a German immigrant who published newspapers in his native language. Michael's contribution to the company started at the age of nine, when he earned $5 a day stripping pasteup flats. When he wasn't working, Simon enjoyed hunting, fishing and baseball.
