Hello, Paul, how are you today?
Paul 0:11
I couldn't be better. I'd have to be twins. Again. Thank you for inviting me to join you and your audience.
Sabine 0:16
The pleasure is all mine. Paul, you are the founder and CEO of the wall printer USA, which is a vertical printer. And this is really fascinating. I've never heard of a vertical printer and my question to you is, how does it work? Why would we want to have a vertical printer and who uses it?
Paul 0:40

Paul 2:03

But early on, while I was in college to supplement the good graces of my parents financial support, and to have some spending money beyond that. I got a job stringing tennis rackets and something turned out I was very good at and people liked the result of my work. So after I graduated college and got a teaching job, I also opened up a littles tennis sporting goods store with a friend and who's also involved in the tennis community that I was in in the upstate New York town where I went to college. And that store became one store two stores, three stores. And it was a successful venture. And it was taking more and more of my time because I was enjoying learning not only the interactions with the customers, but the vendors, looking at what people wanted looking forward in terms of not only tennis equipment, but then it be expanded beyond that into other areas of sporting goods and clothing and differ...
