Team

I have been a printer since the age of 16, (1977) when I began my career at Cummings Printing in the Bindery. From there I worked my way through the Press room, Layup department, Typesetting department, Customer Service, Sales and in 1989 I became President.

Since then I have guided the company through many changes from sheet-fed to half-web to 16 page and now 32 page web presses. From hot lead typesetting to paper tape, electronic typesetting, film stripping to completely digital image setting.

To accommodate these improvements we left our 33,000 square foot facility in Manchester for a newly constructed 65,000 sq. ft. building in Hooksett, NH, and today we operate under approximately 100,000 sq. ft.

While I built Cummings Printing my personal life grew as well. I got married and raised two wonderful sons. I’ve continued to be a sports fanatic. I follow the Boston pro teams and the local college and high school teams very closely, I even play in a men’s basketball and softball league. My greatest passion however, is fishing. If I’m not in the office there is a high probability that I am near an ocean, lake or stream!

It’s been a great ride so far, both personally and professionally, and I’m looking forward to the future.

I started working at Cummings Printing in 2009 at 16 years old in the shipping department, boxing up magazines and building “character,” as my dad liked to say. From there, I eventually worked my way into the bindery department, learning the business from the ground up.

I later attended the University of Georgia, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in business finance—and developed a lifelong love of Georgia football. After graduating in 2016, I spent two years living in Atlanta before the southern heat finally drove me back home to New Hampshire.

When I rejoined the family business, I spent months learning the many stages of production and administration throughout the plant. My personal favorite was learning to operate our monstrous Komori 38D four-color press. From there, I moved into sales, spending several years working directly with publishers—helping them through the printing process, putting out the occasional fire, and subjecting them to my terrible jokes. That time on the front lines shaped how I think about service, communication, and what really matters to our customers.

In 2023, my brother Chris and I became Co-CEOs of Cummings Printing, representing the fourth generation of family leadership. While Chris focuses on production and operations, I concentrate on the customer side of the business—working closely with our clients, sales team, and internal departments to ensure projects run smoothly from first quote to final delivery. I’m also involved in streamlining production, billing, and accounting processes, as well as continuing to improve our in-house software platform.

Outside of Cummings Printing, you’ll usually find me at the gym, cooking, playing softball, or hiking. Despite my time in Georgia, my love of Boston sports never wavered—though it may have gotten me into trouble once or twice. I’m also proud to serve as a member of the New Hampshire Army National Guard.

I’m incredibly fortunate to work alongside such a dedicated, hardworking, and caring team here at Cummings Printing, and I’m excited about the future we’re building together.

I officially began my career at Cummings Printing in May 2013 at the age of 16, but in many ways, I’ve been part of the company my entire life. Growing up, I spent countless hours around the plant with my father, gaining early exposure to the people, processes, and pride that define Cummings Printing.

I started on the production floor in the mailing department and frequently assisted in bindery, eager to absorb as much as possible. After graduating high school, I attended the University of Florida, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a minor in Real Estate and graduated cum laude. During my time at UF, I also developed a lasting appreciation for college football and southern cuisine.

Upon graduation, I returned to New Hampshire and joined Cummings Printing full time, committing to a yearlong, comprehensive training program across every department in the company. My experience spanned bindery, pressroom, prepress, purchasing, estimating, billing, customer service, and sales. This end-to-end exposure to production and operations gave me a deep understanding of what it truly takes to produce a high-quality magazine efficiently and consistently.

In February 2023, my brother and I became Co-CEOs following my father’s retirement. In my role, I am primarily focused on operations—ensuring that our processes, teams, and systems work together seamlessly to deliver exceptional quality, reliability, and service to our clients. Having spent meaningful time in every department, I bring a practical, hands-on perspective to leadership, with a strong emphasis on continuous improvement and accountability.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and can usually be found at the gym, near the water, or playing any sport involving a ball. In the fall, however, you’ll most likely find me on the couch cheering for the Florida Gators—and rooting against the Georgia Bulldogs.

As a fourth-generation Cummings, I take immense pride in both my work and the dedication of our team. I’m deeply committed to upholding the standards, craftsmanship, and reputation that have defined Cummings Printing for over a century.

I have been employed at Cummings Printing since April 1986. My journey began in the Layup Department, and after a short time I moved into Sales and then Sales Manager. In May 2005 I became Chief Operating Officer/VP.

I grew up in upstate New York, the youngest of seven siblings. I moved to NH in 1984 where I met my wife Holly. We have been married since 1986 and have two wonderful successful children; our daughter, Jessica, is a ELL Teacher in Maine and our son, Jacob who I am proud to say has been part of the Cummings Family since 2010.

In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, refereeing high school basketball, watching our two grand dogs (Josie & Polly) and spending time at our beach house on the coast of Maine.

I officially began my career at Cummings Printing in June of 2011 when I was 16 years old, but since I was born I have always been around the plant with my father who is currently the VP/COO. I started in the Bindery and occasionally was in the pressroom/shipping departments.

After graduating High School, I attended Saint Anselm’s College where I graduated with a major in Mathematics in 2016. After graduating, I began a yearlong training process to learn every area of production. I started on the floor with the bindery, to the press room, to prepress and purchasing then upstairs to estimating, billing, customer service and finally sales. Putting in time with all these departments really helped me gain a better understanding of everything that goes into the printing of a magazine which has assisted me greatly as an Account Executive.

When I am not at work, I enjoy adventures with my wife and dog and anytime spent at the beach! Also, rooting for any and all New England Sport teams.

I have been with Cummings Printing Since 2018. I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. I started off in Accounts Payable and I was promoted to Accounts Receivable Manager in December 2021. Currently, I am training to become the Controller in 2025! I am grateful to be part of the Cummings Printing team. Not only are they a family run business, but they treat you as part of their family.

In my spare time I LOVE to travel. Hawaii is one of my favorite places that I have visited. My husband and I will be going back there soon! I also enjoy spending time with my husband and especially our German Shepherd, Kimber. You will most likely find me playing ball outside with her constantly. I am also a big football fan. Once a year I try to make it to a New England Patriots game.

I’ve been at Cummings Printing since 1990, three years after graduating from the University of New Hampshire. After a successful sales career I was fortunate enough to be promoted to Sales Manager where I oversee a group of representatives that are second to none. I feel proud to be working for a company like Cummings Printing, one that values its relationships both with clients and its employees. The last two decades has seen a number of challenges in our industry but through it all Cummings has maintained the same philosophy we had when we started in 1914, which is to treat our clients like the partners they truly are.

On a personal level, I’ve been married to my wife Elizabeth since 1990. We feel very lucky to be blessed with three wonderful adult children plus a couple of dogs, a cat and a turtle that will seemingly live forever. Outside of work I enjoy live music, movies, playing golf and trying to stay in shape, which isn’t easy.

Thanks for taking time to visit our website. Your comments or suggestions are always welcome.

I’ve been in the publication printing industry since 1989, joining the amazing team here at Cummings Printing in August of 2020. While much has changed over the years, the importance of being able to produce a high-quality product while providing excellent customer service still remains at – or near – the top of every print buyers list. At Cummings Printing, the primary focus of the entire organization is your complete and total satisfaction with any job produced, regardless of size. While other companies focus on bottom line, we focus on you.

Personally, and when I’m not taking great care of a valued client or looking for new opportunities, every minute of my spare time is spent with my beautiful wife (since 1991) and -when we see them- our three wonderful kids.

I was born in Limerick, Ireland where I received an Associates Degree in Business with Computer Applications from the Limerick Institute of Technology. Soon after, I came to the United States on a soccer scholarship to study at Notre Dame College (NH).

After earning my degree in 2002, I was hired as a salesperson here at Cummings Printing. I currently make my home in Manchester, NH. I spend my spare time with my family and especially our dog, Bubbs. My interests include running, skiing & playing bad golf. In 2017 I proudly became an American citizen although I still enjoy going back to my homeland whenever possible.

I joined Cummings Printing in November 2024 as an Account Executive, bringing with me extensive experience in the printing and print advertising industry. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong passion for helping businesses communicate their message effectively through high-quality print solutions. What attracted me to Cummings was not only the company’s outstanding reputation, but also the consistent quality of work and commitment to client satisfaction.

My professional background includes many years in print advertising sales, where I worked closely with a wide variety of business owners to understand their goals and provide tailored strategies that helped strengthen their market presence. I genuinely enjoy collaborating with clients, identifying opportunities, and finding solutions that add real value to their business.

At Cummings Printing, I am proud to be part of a team that upholds the highest standards of quality and service. My approach is client-focused and solutions-driven, with a strong emphasis on building long-term relationships and ensuring every project is executed with care and precision.

Outside of work, I value time with my family. I’m married with one son who loves soccer and a dog, and we enjoy an active lifestyle. Much of my free time is spent watching our son play soccer, snowboarding in the winter, golfing in warmer months, and making the most of time outdoors with loved ones.

In 1998 I became part of the Cummings Printing Team. Back then, I drove to work in my 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix with Sound Garden and The Red Hot Chili Peppers on the radio. Almost twenty-seven years later, I’m still a happy employee at Cummings Printing. I’ve always worked in Customer Service… but my main reasons for coming to work here at Cummings every day has always been the same – I love the people I work with; I value producing a great product; and I absolutely enjoy my customers.

Throughout my career at Cummings, I have been paired with some of the most interesting and innovative people on the planet; I have built several long-term relationships with my customers and many of them have become my friends. There is no challenge that I won’t take on for my clients.

Outside of work, you’ll find me just generally being wicked cool (I’m originally from Massachusetts). I love music, nature, wine, art, and my cats Wolf & Wally. But above all, I enjoy experiencing all of these things with both my son and my daughter who are my best friends.
I’m looking forward to helping you with your next magazine.

After graduating from Marietta College in 1984 I moved to the great state of New Hampshire and began my printing career. Sixteen years later I was fortunate enough to be hired by Cummings Printing and have been here as a Customer Service Rep. ever since. It will be 24 years this June. I enjoy being part of the Cummings team that helps clients get their magazines finished on time and on budget every day. On a personal note I am married and have an awesome daughter.

In my spare time I enjoy trout fishing and occasionally hacking up a golf course. I also volunteer at Marietta College on the Alumni Council and at our local High School Music Club helping out at Fundraisers and Concerts. Thanks for visiting our website and please give me a call if you have any questions at all.

I am the oldest of three boys born and raised in Manchester NH. I come from a family of teachers, but did not have the patience to follow that career path. I went to school locally and then spent three years at Keene State College. While I didn’t graduate, I made a lot of good friends and helped employ hundreds at the local Anheuser Busch brewery. After leaving Keene and returning to Manchester, I worked at a foundry for a couple of years. Around that time I moved to Phoenix AZ where I ended up selling Kirby vacuums door to door for almost three years. I eventually became tired of the inconsistent pay and the grief of going door to door, I was also homesick, so I moved back to NH. After being back in Manchester for a month or so, in September 1998, I took a temp job that sent me to Cummings for some piece work. Coincidentally, the production manager was related to me by marriage, and he told me that they were hiring in the shipping department. After spending about a year and half in shipping, my true talents shown and they moved me to customer service where I have been since except for a brief stint in prepress. I enjoy working here and my coworkers are great.

I live in Manchester with my girlfriend and our cat. When I am not working I prefer to be golfing, actually even when I am working I’d rather be golfing! I also enjoying going to concerts and socializing with friends and family, and traveling to new places.

Hello and thank you for visiting our website! I graduated Southern New Hampshire University in 1995 and became part of the Cummings Printing family in 2005 – where I quickly learned there is never a dull moment in print! We pride ourselves in building strong partnerships with our clientele and alleviating some of the stress of publishing with our flexible scheduling.

When I’m not at work, I have a passion for Culinary Arts, exploring neighborhoods by foot and bringing my niece and nephew to the park so they can burn off some energy.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us! Give your local sales rep a call to see how we can save you money and become part of the Cummings family.

I began working at Cumming’s Printing during the summer of 2022 helping out in the bindery while I was obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree from Stonehill College. The following summer, I returned since it was a great place to work at and had a welcoming atmosphere. After graduating from Stonehill in 2024, I came back to Cumming’s once more and was offered to move into Customer Service soon after. The time I spent in the bindery gave me some great experience that translates to Customer Service.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, staying active, and watching sports. Boston sports teams are my favorite, especially the Celtics and I always try to watch each game if I can. My family and I were all born and raised in Manchester and I’ve loved living in NH. Thanks for visiting our website!

I’m a second generation printer who has spent the last 40 years working in prepress operations for both commercial sheetfed and headset web publication printing. In 1985 I earned a degree in Graphic Arts from NH Vocational Technical College and spent 15 years working in the commercial sheetfed market before joining Cummings in 1998. In addition to managing our prepress operation, for the past two years I have been co-managing our press room operation also. This new dual-management position has enabled us to further streamline our day-to-day process and better integrate the two departments.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling with my wife and participating in a variety of outdoor activities, such as kayaking, mountain biking and camping.

I started working at Cummings Printing back in 2014, hired mainly for after hours tech support. The great thing about starting here on a mid-shift, was that I was able to bounce around and learn about all things Prepress related. Eventually, I transitioned to Page Production within the Prepress Department where I perform page verification on Customer’s PDFs to ensure we provide the best quality products for our Customers! I also have remained in the Tech Support network throughout my career here.

I graduated from Plymouth State University in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a minor in Psychological Statistics and Methods. Which has really allowed me to connect to our customers on a more personal level. Especially now that I have taken on a more integral role in the Cummings onboarding team as well.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my son and my husband, cuddling up with my 2 dogs and 3 cats, road trips to the mountains or the beach, and spending as much with family and friends as possible!

Welcome, I am Chris Philippy, the Plant Manager, and I have been employed at Cummings Printing since 1984, but have been around the company since I was a boy. My father was the foreman of the old Typesetting Dept. and worked at Cummings for nearly 40 years. I would often accompany my father when he would come to “The Shop”. I have seen a great number of changes; lead type, paper tape, VIP’s, electronic prepress, and finally, CTP. Through it all, one thing has remained the same, Cummings’ commitment to stay on the cutting edge of technology.

Personally, I live in the lakes region of NH with my longtime girlfriend, Laurie and our dog and cat. We have just sent our daughter, Mackenzie off to Endicott College to study Interior Design. When there isn’t snow on the ground, I can usually be found on a golf course somewhere. During the winter months, I enjoy watching college basketball and the Boston Bruins. Thank you for visiting our site. Hopefully we can be your printer for your next project.

I began my career with Cummings Printing Company in 1992 as a press helper on second shift. From there, I advanced to several positions such as Head Pressman, Second Shift Plant Manager and currently Post Press Manager. Cummings Printing has grown rapidly during my time here but our commitment to the customer is still our number one priority. We continually try to improve our production and the quality of services that we extend to our customers. Cummings is known for low employee turnover which benefits our customers by having a knowledgeable and well trained staff. We look forward to exceeding the needs and the expectations of all our customers.

While at home I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love spending time on the water. My new hobby has been learning to paddle board during the summer months.

Thanks for visiting my BIO. If you have any question, please reach out.

I joined the team at Cummings Printing in February of 2019. I started my career in print working on a web press on night shift while I attended college classes during the day. After graduating, with my BS in Physics and a minor in Mathematics from Millersville University, I moved into a Customer Service position with that particular printing company. Since then, I have worked in Estimating, Sales and Purchasing in a couple of commercial printing companies.

Joining Cummings Printing has been a great experience. Working with a great group of people who have lots of knowledge has been wonderful.

On a personal level, I enjoy spending my spare time with my wife Lisa working on our garden beds during the summer months and catching concerts where we can throughout the year.

I started my career with Cummings Printing in July 1997 in the typesetting department. In 2002 typesetting became obsolete and I was moved to the shipping / mailing department. While in my new role I learned about the shipping side including UPS, Fed Ex, DHL, and USPS. My career grew as did my knowledge with mailing as I was moved into the List Generation role. Here I was in charge of making the mailing lists all while furthering my knowledge of postal regulations and requirements for all of our mailings.

In 2005 I was then promoted to Shipping Supervisor. While maintaining my role as Shipping Supervisor I have kept myself up to date with postal regulations and requirements and began attending the annual Postal Forum. My vast knowledge of our shipping and mailing department has helped prepare me for my new role. As of April 2025 I am now the Mailing Specialist with a duel role as Shipping Supervisor.

Outside of Cummings Printing I am a wife to my wonderful husband Richard (who happens to be a machine operator at Cummings Printing) of 29 years and counting. I love spending time with my daughter and 2 grandkids. I have two Great Pyrenees dogs which I love to spoil. I think they get away with more than my grandkids. My favorite thing to do on weekends is to spend time with my mom (and best friend) cooking. We are always looking up new recipes just to try them out. On rainy days I enjoy crocheting and making baby blankets.

I started at Cummings Printing in November 2025 so I guess you could consider me a rookie compared to most long-tenured employees here. I have over 25 years of experience in the printing industry and currently serve as Assistant Pressroom Manager at Cummings. My career includes extensive work in corrugated and flexographic printing, prepress operations, quality systems, and plant leadership, providing me with a well-rounded perspective on both production and process management. I am highly organized, process-driven, and committed to building strong teams through clear communication and structured systems.

At Cummings, I play a key role in pressroom operations, process improvement, and documentation, while continuing to expand my expertise in publication and web offset printing as part of Cummings’ long-term succession planning. I am also responsible for leading safety and compliance efforts, including OSHA documentation, inspections, and continuous improvement initiatives that support a safe and efficient workplace.

Outside of work, I live in Maine with my wife and three sons. I enjoy cooking, ATVing, any and all outdoor recreation, and spending time with my family and Great Pyrenees Odin. People who know me say I have a strong work ethic, am very detail oriented, and have a commitment to doing things the right way, and I take pride in supporting both my team and the long-term success of Cummings Printing.

Hello! Welcome, and thank you so much for visiting our Cummings Printing website!

I am Briana, and I’m pleased to have been a member of the Cummings Team since 2023! Long before joining the Cummings Printing Team, I graduated with High Honors from Southern New Hampshire University. I have had various long-term work engagements, ranging from being a Corporate Trainer and New Store Opener for restaurants, to a Client Experience role with a Fleet Company. Most notably, I worked for an Independent Multi-Lines Insurance Agency for eight years, and even still hold an active Health and Life Insurance Producers License to this day. I then worked for a Wine and Spirits Broker for ten and a half years, where when I left – I alone was doing the Accounts Payable for three of their Divisions spanning throughout eight states, while also being the Office Supervisor and Executive Assistant; as well as the Ambassador for their Philanthropic program.

While being the Ambassador for the Wine and Spirits Broker’s Philanthropic program, it further confirmed my passion for helping people – and I have led countless Charitable Initiatives ranging from Collection Drives to In-person Volunteer Events. In addition to helping people, I also enjoy music and attending concerts, poker tournaments, reading, movies, painting, and I love cooking. As such, I have even competed in Culinary and Baking competitions where I won a gold medal at the state level, sending me to nationals where I won a bronze medal.

I have been a lifelong resident of New Hampshire. I value spending time with my Husband, along with two crazy and larger than life Bengal cats, our family, and friends. I am grateful to have been welcomed into the Cummings Team, and I know you too will enjoy becoming part of the Cummings Printing Family! We look forward to working with you on your next print job!

Thanks again for visiting our website! ~Briana

I started at Cummings Printing in February of 2023 doing Accounts Payable. I guess you can say that I am still considered ‘new’ to the company since many of the employees have been in the Cummings family for over 10 years. When I started with the company, it felt like I was being welcomed into a huge family. I consider myself very lucky to not only love what I do, but to also enjoy coming into the office every day to interact and connect with the people I work with. It’s not something I ever experienced before while working for a company, and I am so glad I got to experience that here, at Cummings Printing. I look forward to being part of this crazy family for many years to come.

I recently graduated from Southern New Hampshire University in April of 2023 with my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Soon after graduating (soon as in, 6 days later), I got married to my wonderful husband Tom. We have a 4 year old French Bulldog, Tankerbelle, who you might see on the Cummings Printing Facebook page from time to time! Outside of work, I really enjoy spending time with family and friends making memories to last a lifetime.

I recently started working at Cummings Printing in February 2025. Before Cummings I worked as an Accounts Payable Specialist for 2.5 years. This May, I have completed my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Southern New Hampshire University. I have always had interest in accounting since taking my first accounting courses in high school.

In my free time, I love to travel. I enjoy trying new things, and spending time with my friends and family, especially my niece and nephews. I am excited be a part of Cummings Printing, and look forward to the many years to come.
