Hello!

I'm Michael Shampine, founder and president of MJS Associates. This is my story.

I enjoyed an avocational career in the volunteer fire service and served with 2 different fire departments. I "worked my way up the ladder" and rose up through the ranks from firefighter eventually to fire chief. After 29 years of personally rewarding service, I retired from the fire service.

 

Having earned a Master's degree in education, I was a public secondary school teacher for several years. I left secondary education to pursue and refine my sales, advertising, and marketing skills. At that time, I also became a co-founder of MJS Associates which sells custom printed and pre-printed products. MJS has become a Limited Liability Corporation, but it's not the products we sell that define who we are... MJS is really our customers! They rely on us to get the job done... to make their day go just a little easier. We focus on detail and getting superior quality at the best prices.

​

Presently, I volunteer by serving my community. I have also returned to education and became a college Adjunct Professor with experience educating students at 4 different institutions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I enjoy being a part-time college educator and have been at my current institution since 2015.

​

Of utmost importance to me is my strong faith in God and His Spirit guiding me throughout my life. I value my wife and family, 3 adult children, and 6 grandchildren. I enjoy being at home and on the beach, staying active, eating healthy, keeping fit, walking, running, and biking.
