The holder of a degree in art from Florida State University, Atkinson started a T-shirt company to fund his graduate studies in architecture, outsourcing his screen printing.

He went on to become vice president of operations at T-Formation, which was followed by a year of consulting, before becoming chief operating officer at Visual Impressions, a contract decorator offering screen printing, embroidery and digitizing primarily to the promotional products market.

Having left Visual Impressions in 2016 to start his own company, Atkinson Consulting, Atkinson is in the process of starting a business-to-business apparel service called WORK and will continue to share his knowledge as a contributor to industry publications and as a seminar speaker.  MORE INFO
