About Philip

Meet Philip Bodkin

I have been an entrepreneur since I was a child. My bedroom was always set up as an office including a nameplate and pen set on the desk.  As a young teenager I started a mail order business and sold catalog goods.

In 1992 at the age of 19 I started the business that I still operate today. It started as a promotional product distributorship catering to political campaigns. In the years since it has grown and expanded and gone through a few changes. Today it is a full service integrated small business marketing company catering to a select group of clientele. In the past, we have operated retail store from print shops, niche virtual print centers and provided non-commercial print and personalized products. I have finally come to a point that the company is operating in such a way as to allow for me to actually have a life and an income I am happy with. The growth was fun, but when you start investing in buildings, equipment and people it can get a bit overwhelming if you are not careful. I invite you to visit http://www.BodkinPrinting.com if you have the need.

During these years I spent my time involved in politics and the business community. Sitting on association boards, committees and volunteering at community events was a lot of fun, but also much work. One to many times being named President or Chairperson got the best of me and I "retired" from these activities.

This was not a bad move considering I now had a young family I wanted to spend time with. I married the former Renee Wythe on July 17, 1999. Our Priest (who just happened to also be the Chaplain for the Buffalo Bills) was a colorful character. Being that it was 1999 our entire wedding mass was all about "Y2K". On April 1st, 2001 our first son, Sebastian, was born, followed by Benjamin on August 11th, 2003 and Lucian on April 29th, 2005.
