Ed Sikorski
Ed Sikorski is the true entrepreneur. Prior to founding ORIGINPRESS, at the ripe ole age of 20, he owned a florist. He truly loved the business but just didn’t like the hours. At 22, he couldn’t sleep and went to a diner and had a great idea – restaurant coupons . . . placed on paper trays . . . in college cafeterias. From this marketing idea at 3 in the morning, Ed founded the company. Ed’s philosophy – if you have a good idea – pursue it. Financing will materialize when you least expect it and if you are doing what you enjoy you can never fail! Ed’s philosophy – never stop dreaming or thinking about new ways to improve yourself, your personal life or your business. The white board and flip charts in his office are filled with notes and drawings on how to expand Origin and services to offer. Kaitlin, Ed’s daughter, keeps him busy. They are always on the move and planning some type of adventure. Ed enjoys tennis, fishing, boating.
Len Sikorski
After graduating from Fordham University in 1980, Len Sikorski joined his brothers in the printing business in 1984 after a career in the Hotel and Restaurant industry with the Hilton and Grand Hyatt chains. Using his experiences in Customer Service he developed the ability to handle all customer needs that are still implemented at Origin today. Whether ordering business cards or a 62 page 4 color catalogue you can be assured that you will get the same treatment and receive your order in a timely fashion.
Len resides in Atlantic Beach, New York with his wife Bonnie and daughter Suzan. For leisure he enjoys golf and watching his daughter play soccer on the travel team in the Hewlett and Lawrence area. His claim to fame is while playing baseball for Fordham he once got 2 hits in a game against “Cy Young” winner Frank Viola. . .a feat that cannot be proven!
