Tim Tibbetts

Mr. Timothy Tibbetts is the founder of Island Reflections, which is the company that sparked the development of On-Site Graphics of which he is the co-founder. To say Tim is a natural born entrepreneur is not overstating the case; Tim started his first business at the age of eight selling greeting cards. During most of his early career he was employed by various businesses, though even then he began to search for opportunities of self-employment. The experience and diversity of different positions helped him to develop ideas for improvement and efficiency that would later become vital in his own businesses. Tim has initiated five businesses prior to On-Site Graphics. The sale of one of his businesses (which he financed) has given him additional income and time to develop his next venture. Tim has confidence in his ability to build a business that almost anyone can operate.

Tim has focused his career in the service industries as there lays the best arena for building profitable, repeatable businesses that do not require a lot of capital to get started. He has a natural desire to help people whether it is giving them great service through one of his businesses, providing a business opportunity or being involved with the building of his church. From this desire has come an uncanny ability to create better delivery methods for various services. His grassroots marketing and salesmanship is well known through out the areas that he has done business. He has lead the way with the local chamber of commerce to foster better business to business ties within his town. The other sales and marketing avenues that he has developed to make Island Reflections an almost instant business success are what has been applied to the On-Site Graphic concept.

Many of these concepts are revolutionary and have the right amount of impact for todays fast pace marketplace. Tim developed Island reflection while having two brothers already in the sign business. One thing that became clear was that without a guiding hand he would have made many costly mistakes while developing the On-Site concept. By learning from other's mistakes he was able to get his company up and profitable in the shortest amount of time. One of his long-term goals has been to come up with a company that would allow others to pursue their dreams of self-employment. In this age when there is very little corporate loyalty to employees, his is a concept that many people will welcome in these uncertain times. Tim's motto in life is: "Success in anything is only limited by what you think you can achieve". Don't allow anyone to discourage you from your dreams, dream big and then make it happen!

Rick Dyer

Mr. Rick Dyer is the co-founder of On-Site Graphics. The company was founded after the completion of two successful careers and concurrent with a third. The first two were in the lottery industry where he was the principal architect of digital network communication in the transaction processing arena and coaching ski racing. Working for the lottery system provider, GTECH, Rick saw the company grow from four contracts to become a world leader with at one time eighty percent of the world market. He created many of that industry's telecommunication firsts by taking existing technologies and applying it in ways that had not at that time been foreseen. This very formula has been applied by Mr. Dyer to other endeavors and has worked as well each time.

Rick's twenty-year coaching career saw two of his former skiers making the United States National Team. The rarity of that is one made the Alpine team and the other the Freestyle team. The methods employed to help his skiers to the next level are the same used to achieve the very best efforts out of all those around him in business. Rick has spoken about business performance as related to sport training at industry seminars around the world and it is always a favorite topic with audiences.

Upon "retirement" from these two careers he began to assist the founder of HEALTHY INSPIRATIONS, a licensed weight-loss business that he helped to convert into a franchise. While not technically demanding as his first career it was a very challenging project as it went against the established practices of both the weight-loss and the health and fitness industry. Taking on the best of both and creating a solution that neither industry had envisioned on their own. The need to create the support systems for start up businesses was born out of the rapid early growth of this business. While HI had great support material, Rick saw a need for better organization of the support so that it arrived in the owner's hands exactly when needed. Rick is also the founder and president of WinterHawk Technology a marketing company with roots in the aviation industry. It was through work on WinterHawk's aircraft that Tim and Rick met.

Rick has presented to audiences as large as 400 to 500 hundred people on the topic of creating dynamic people oriented business environments. One magazine cover story he wrote on starting your own business was put on the magazine's web site and is still generating feedback more than a year after its publication. The popularity of this article illustrates the desire that so many people have to run their own business. Knowing this the On-Site package was developed to meet the needs of the new business owner with the appropriate level of detail. These are the skills that were applied to packaging Tim's vision into the successful repeatable business opportunity presented to you today.
