Although Patrick Ali is one of the newer faces on Team Siser, he’s no stranger to the crafting world! With over 5 years as a craft business owner, Patrick is well versed in the possibilities and pitfalls of owning a small business. If you ask Patrick, he’ll say his wife is the graphic designer in the family business. Yet, he’s skilled in several softwares including: Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, Sign Master, Vinyl Master and of course Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio. Patrick’s personal experience with Siser products strengthened his sales approach while travelling as an Outside Sales Rep. Previously, his professional forte was found behind a desk in the Mortgage Industry, but this new position often has him behind the wheel, in front of a crowd, or holding a microphone. Patrick is finally seeing his childhood dreams of performing arts come to fruition….but probably not in the way he imagined- swapping the stage for a YouTube set when he debuted Craftin’ with Patrick in March 2020.
When not selling or working on his sales pitch, Patrick can be found on the pitch with his lacrosse stick, walking his 4 dogs, or most likely building (and destroying) elaborate Lego towers with his 3 kids. Currently cast in the role of Outside Sales Representative for Siser North America, Patrick makes the most of his time on the road and inside the office as the spirited spokesman and co-host of The Decor8 Podcast.
With 9 years under his Decorated Apparel Industry belt, Chad Pool’s passion is evident! This well-seasoned staff member features a dash of sales, a sprinkling of technical customer support, and a hefty helping of management experience to top it all off. Throughout the years, Chad’s become proficient in sublimation, DTG, UV and wide format printing therefore also developing knowledge in Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, and several RIP softwares. Along with everything else, his certificate in color management and as a Roland and Graphtec technician led the Siser Team to dub him the “Print and Cut King.” But the King is no stranger to grunt work- Chad knows how to run a successful sign and garment decoration business on the side while maintaining a 9-5 job plus a family life with his wife and daughter.
While away from the machines and the mic, Chad can be found lounging around the pool or boat with friends and family, cheering on his favorite sports teams (and secretly- pro wrestlers!) or maybe even belting out his favorite karaoke lyrics on stage if the night has gone exceptionally well. Currently sitting in the position of Retail Operations Manager for Siser North America, Chad is the ever-educated voice of reason and co-host of The Decor8 Podcast.
