"It's like magic." That's how Tony Johnson describes it. "It doesn't matter if we're changing graphics on a car at the track or wrapping a fleet of vehicles, it's always awesome to see the transformation. I love it."

Tony is the founder and president of the The Decal Source, a specialty graphics company located in McLeansville, NC. His interest in the industry was sparked in high school when he discovered a knack for graphic design and took a part-time job at a print shop. "We weren't doing any wide-format printing then," he said, "but I learned a lot about what it takes to get a print job through production."

With a few years of experience under his belt, Tony decided to try his hand at the business side of printing and bought a PIP franchise in Asheboro, NC. "It was a great experience. I learned a lot about how systems and processes can make or break a print shop," he said.

It was during this season that Tony was first exposed to wide-format printing. It didn't take long for Tony to figure out that he could combine his love of racing and his knowledge of printing. He shifted focus and started The Decal source in 1998 with an emphasis on the motorsports industry. TDS quickly became the go-to company for "making it happen."

Tony has seen the industry shift from hand-painted letters to vinyl letters to full decal wraps. Over the years The Decal Source has grown from two employees to more than 40, running two shifts daily. TDS is the leading provider of vehicle wraps and graphics for the NASCAR industry.

"I love the work we do," Tony said, "but my favorite part of The Decal Source is seeing our team members grow professionally and personally."

Tony has been married for 25 years and has three kids. He loves hanging out at the lake with them and occasionally playing a little golf.

Anton Justad has been with The Decal Source since 2004. He started in the shipping department while in college and has since worked many different positions ranging from production artist to IT. Complex problem solving, working with people, and being competitive are his key interests. Seeing team TDS take concepts and turning them into finished products is his favorite part of the job. When asked what his favorite quote is he replies with this: “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” ― Harry S. Truman

Jon Napier began his career with TDS in June 2015 as Install Coordinator. From there, moved into the Commercial Sales department in February 2016. Primary responsibility is serving all commercial accounts within the Commercial Sales Team as the Commercial Account Coordinator. My favorite part of the job is servicing our customers, seeing projects that we’ve created and completed around town every day, and the people that I get the privilege of working with on a daily basis. When I’m not at work I enjoy playing and teaching the game of golf and spending time with my family.

Brian Nelson came to work for TDS at the beginning of 2015. He has been in the graphic and sign industry for over 15 years as a territory sales representative for both manufacturing and distribution companies of graphics materials. This was not his first time dealing with TDS, as he was a past vendor of digital media products for them. Working with high profile clients in the motorsports industry is something he has been interested in doing since his early days of watching Nascar with his family. When he is not working, you might find Brian on one of the many golf courses around the area or enjoying time with his wife and two daughters. One of his favorite quotes comes from Benjamin Franklin, "Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.”

He has managed the Installation and Production Departments as well as being a member of TDS's Leadership Management Team. While Tim's favorite project at TDS was installing track wall graphics at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, color profiling is his passion.
