About the Owners:

Robin Surface, President/Owner. Robin has a BA in Journalism and has worked in various jobs in the printing/publishing industry since 1985, including typographer, production manager for a national trade magazine, news reporter, weekend magazine section editor, graphic artist and book production/printing coordinator.

Darren Shell, Vice President/Owner. Darren came onboard in 2008, after a flood caused us some hardships. He is the author of several books, both fiction and nonfiction, and was originally a Fideli customer. As a result of his confidence in Fideli's service, he decided to buy into the company. It's great having his author’s prospective. Darren works at Willow Grove Resort & Marina in Dale Hollow, TN, and writes articles for newspapers and publications throughout middle Tennessee and Kentucky, and he even enjoyed a short-lived career as a cartoon illustrator.
