These 20-Under-40 Up-and-Coming Printing Industry Executives Share Their Success Stories

Flaherty got his first break in printing from Dale Beane (his future father-in-law) at Insty-Prints of Falcon Heights, MN. "Under his tutelage, I learned everything I know today about the printing industry," he notes. "I served in every position in the company except press operator."

After being a delivery driver for Beane's shop, Flaherty worked his way up to production manager. It was apparent, however, that sales was a true calling for Flaherty, who upon becoming an account manager, won an award for having the highest sales volume in the Allegra network for three consecutive years.
