The concept of Florida Color Printing, Inc. came about as a result of founder Allan Everett's love of art. As a young chemical engineer, he became a skilled illustrator in pen and ink as well as colored pencil, and had always thought how great it would be to make a living from making really cool artwork. After selling his industrial machinery manufacturing and distribution company he spent most of the 1980s and early 1990s building, Allan and his wife Kathy took off for the Caribbean.
Sailing from island to island for several years, he tried to picture "life after cruising." Firmly committed to earning a living doing work he enjoyed, Allan settled into a career as a commercial artist: a graphic designer in today's parlance. He wound up with commissions to create advertising and print collateral packages for several great clients in and around their new home, Stuart, Florida.
Toward the end of one rather frustrating job in early 2000, Allan realized that when he sent work out to be produced, he lost control of the creative process and the quality of his work - often to someone he didn't even know.

Engineer, sailor, pilot, graphic designer: that's the short-form rsum of Florida Color's big dog.
After a successful career with a Fortune 100 corporation in Memphis, he cashed out and started his own company, selling manufacturing gear and parts to industrial giants.
At the tender age of 34, he cashed out again, and headed south to the Caribbean with one hand on the tiller of a 48-foot ketch and the other on the hip of the estimable Kathy Jane Harwood, who would become his legal wife a number of years later.
