Principal and founder Donald Kopis first used the city library’s coin-operated Fat Mac in 1985 to create a rudimentary business form for his firm for whom he acted as personnel manager. That firm’s owner had committed to the rare Apple /// computer, spending U$5000 for a five-MEGAbyte hard drive. (Does anyone else remember Visicalc?)

Over the next two years, he worked as an undergraduate assistant editor for the IU-Bloomington student government’s Faculty-Course Evaluation publication. His first job a few weeks after graduation was for an RV club management company as the newly coined job position “desktop publisher.”

Corporate Trainer in Chicago to Michiana Marketing Manager

After four years in Chicago working as a corporate trainer, Kopis returned to the Michiana area where and worked as a customer liaison and graphic designer for a quick-printer franchisee. One of his regular customers recruited Kopis to be a marketing manager for a small B2B/B2C manufacturer, where he developed corporate marketing collateral, managed advertising campaigns and photo shoots and coordinated trade show items’ logistics for some of the largest exhibitions in North America over the next 12 years.
