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

That's when Crescent Printing & Copying, a provider of event signage, was born. At the ripe old age of 25, Vali became his own boss.

"Most companies fail within the first three years, and I think the reason we were able to generate a good profit, even that first year, was because of the industry experience I had," Vali relates. "I have customers who have been with me since day one. They're very happy with our work and how we're able to cater to their needs. In eight years, even though the economy had declined, I was always able to show a profit. Each year, we've been able to top the previous year profit-wise."
