President at Semper Int. The premier staffing firm for the Printing, Graphic Arts and Interactive Media industries.
Greater Boston Area
Semper International is the largest staffing firm in the USA focused on the printing and graphics industry. Our 14 years of niche flexible staffing background has allowed us to aggressively enter into new niches with agility and flexibility without compromising quality. We are not a retained search firm, we provided skilled talent on a flexible and/or contract basis.
Our newest niches are the Interactive Media and Virtual Worlds (Metaverse) industries.
I preside over emerging divisions overseeing opportunities from the Metaverse, consulting services with staffing and printing firms, interactive media and video game staffing.
I most enjoy new business development and training. My current passion is the video game industry and virtual worlds.
