How it all started:
Floyd Gabriel
Feb 9, 1932 - Dec 10, 2019
“I’m Fantastic and I Look Good Too!”
Floyd was a man of vision, character, and exceptional wit. He spent many years working in Seattle, honing his craft and building his experience in the printing industry while employed at Trick & Murray. It was there that he developed the skills and insight that would later serve as the foundation for his own business. But Floyd was not one to stay still for long. In 1978, with a spirit of adventure and determination, he made the life-changing decision to relocate to Port Angeles, Washington.
That same year, Floyd purchased Olympic Printers and opened its first location in the heart of downtown Port Angeles. With a strong work ethic and a genuine love for the craft, he quickly turned Olympic Printers into a cornerstone of the local business community. The shop provided high-quality commercial printing services, catering to both small businesses and large organizations across the Olympic Peninsula and the Puget Sound region.
Olympic Printers wasn't just a print shop—it became a trusted partner to countless local enterprises, nonprofits, schools, and government agencies. Under Floyd’s leadership, the business earned a reputation for excellence, reliability, and a personal touch that made every customer feel valued. Floyd believed that printing wasn’t just about ink on paper—it was about helping people tell their stories, grow their businesses, and share their ideas with the world.
As demand increased and printing technology advanced, Olympic Printers outgrew its original location. In 1989, Floyd made the strategic decision to move the shop to a larger facility. This expansion allowed the business to invest in more advanced printing presses and equipment, streamlining operations and opening new opportunities. The move marked a new chapter for Olympic Printers, cementing its place as a competitive force in the commercial printing industry throughout Washington State.
More than just a business owner, Floyd was a pillar of the community. His honesty, humor, and heartfelt kindness made a lasting impression on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Whether he was helping a customer meet a tight deadline or sharing a joke to brighten someone’s day, Floyd had a way of making people feel seen and appreciated.
Floyd passed away in 2019, leaving behind a powerful legacy that lives on through the business he built and the community he helped shape. He is truly missed by family, friends, customers, and colleagues alike. To this day, the spirit of Olympic Printers reflects Floyd’s values: integrity, quality, service, and a healthy dose of good humor.
His story reminds us that great businesses aren’t just built on products—they’re built on people.

Mike Gabriel
Puget Sound Sales & Owner
Mike is the go-to for a personable, reliable, and dedicated sales experience. More than your average traveling salesman, his clients span the Puget Sound region and beyond, and he brings the print experience to find solutions for any challenging project.
In a world that’s becoming more automated and impersonal, Mike stands out by keeping things genuine.

It might feel a little old-fashioned, but that’s exactly why people trust him.
His customers know him by name and trust that he’ll go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right — whether that’s tracking down specific products, meeting tight deadlines, or simply checking in to ensure everything went smoothly.
Outside of work, Mike enjoys travel, hiking, motorcycle rides, boating, and walking his dog. His favorite weekend getaway is Winthrop.
When you work with Mike, you’re not just getting a sales rep — you’re getting someone who truly cares about your success and treats your business like his own.
Taylor Foth
Client Services Manager
Taylor is our jack-of-all-trades — the kind of person who can jump into any project and make it happen. No matter what you need, she’ll gather all the details and find a solution that’s both high-quality and cost-effective.
Customer service is at the heart of everything Taylor does. She’s often the first face you’ll see when you walk in and the voice on the phone when you call. She takes the time to listen, ask the right questions, and make sure every customer feels supported from start to finish.
She wears many hats around here. One moment she’s helping customers or putting together quotes, and the next she’s in Bindery adding the final touches to a job, in the Art Department crafting a creative design, or printing a banner on the wide format printer.
Taylor brings energy, versatility, and a sharp eye for detail to everything she does — and when the workday ends, you’ll likely find her out on the disc golf course, perfecting her game.

She’s a nostalgic fan of downtown Port Angeles — both the old landmarks and the new developments — and she’s proud to contribute to a local business that’s been part of the community for more than 60 years.
For Misty, working at a family-owned company is more than just a job — it’s about being part of something meaningful. She values the close-knit environment, the strong relationships with customers, and the opportunity to support other local businesses through her work.
Outside of keeping our accounts in check, Misty brings warmth, positivity, and a strong sense of community to the workplace. She’s someone who truly believes in what Olympic Printers stands for and plays a big role in helping us grow while staying grounded in our roots.

Although he's relatively new to the printing industry, Micah has quickly adapted and become a dependable part of the team. His willingness to learn, strong work ethic, and keen eye for quality have made him a valuable asset.
In addition to his primary responsibilities in bindery, Micah also assists with printing tasks and helps out with deliveries as needed, demonstrating his flexibility and team-first attitude.
When he's not at work, Micah enjoys spending his time outdoors. He’s an avid disc golfer who loves the challenge and strategy of the game. He also finds relaxation and excitement in fishing, whether it's on a quiet lake or along a flowing river.
Micah brings a great balance of focus, enthusiasm, and a can-do attitude to the workplace—and we're lucky to have him on the team.
