Michael Smith - Owner |
My name is Mike Smith and I am the owner of Cardinal Copier Solutions. I have grown up here in Lafayette and graduated from Ball State Univerisity with a degree in marketing and business administration. I have been married to Nancy for 35 years and she is the Vice President of Cardinal. I have three beautiful children - Shannon, Robert, and Erin. I entered the industry in 1975 when carbon paper and ditto machines were the norm and copiers were just a luxury for larger accounts. I started Cardinal in 2005 wanting to become the progressive local dealer and feel that we have done just that. From cloud based services to Document Management Software, my staff is capable of supporting all of our customer needs. I have very proud of what my staff of 15 here in Lafayette has accomplished. I look forward to the challenges and the soultions to those challenges in the future. |
