Chad
I began my screen printing career in 1990 and have been dedicated to the profession since. That’s why I opened American Ink in 2006.
We have a great staff who does their best making sure your job gets done on time with no issues.
Outside of work, I’m involved with youth soccer and have been a coach for over a decade. I’m also crazy about golf and love to play the game with my Dad and Grandfather. But my favorite pastime is spending time with my wife, Nicole, and two children, Luke and Brooklyn.
Nicole
Although my title is office manager, I do whole lot more. I’m in charge of scheduling and ordering of products along with running the front desk and answering customer phone calls and emails.
I’ve been with American Ink since 2006. In my free time I enjoy watching my son play sports, especially wrestling. You might hear me when he’s wrestling, because I’m that crazy screaming mom!
Chad P
I started screen printing in the late 90s alongside American Ink’s owner Chad. When the position opened in 2012 at American Ink, I was excited to work with him again.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and playing music. I’ve played drums longer than I’ve been screen printing and have played in many bands over the years.
Niki
You might not see me when you come into American Ink, but you’ll know I’m working when you hear the hum of the embroidery machines.
I started learning embroidery in 2005 and have been the head of the embroidery department at American Ink since 2007. Outside of work I enjoy watching soccer games and spending time outdoors.
Chelsey
In 2015 I joined the American Ink team. I work in the embroidery department but also help the screen printing line when I’m not busy or when a large order needs help.
Outside of work, I coach hockey and enjoy learning new musical instruments. I could almost start my own one-woman band as I play piano, guitar and drums.
Zack
I’ve been screen printing for nearly half of my life. After working in Spirit Lake, Iowa I moved to Sioux Falls and joined American Ink in 2012.
I like American Ink’s work environment and enjoy working with both of “the Chads.” In my spare time I’m an avid outdoorsman and enjoy hunting and fishing.
Melissa
As the newest screen printer at American Ink, I joined the team in 2014. I’ve learned an incredible amount on printing knowledge since I started with the business.
I am a proud military veteran having served with the United States Marine Corps. I also have an Associates Degree in Business Management. Outside of work I enjoy seeing life through a camera lens as I’m an aspiring photographer.
