Why Convicted?

Simply put, we feel convicted to fight Human Trafficking. However, the word “Convicted” means different things to different people. For survivors of Human Trafficking, convicted often means being a convicted felon. A reality that prevents many of these individuals from finding a sustainable job. As we build this company, our goal is to hire survivors of Human Trafficking and provide opportunities for those individuals to build better lives. 

To learn more about how we are rebranding what it means to be convicted, please visit IAmConvicted.com.

Our Story

Convicted Printing was started in 2014 by Ryan Kole and Thom Schultz. The company was founded with the express purpose of developing a reintegration program to help mitigate the recursion rate found in the world of human-trafficking.

Co-owners, Kole and Schultz, are both philanthropists in the greater Tampa Bay Area. They have served as part of an organization called DCNoise. This organization hosts an annual event called Freedom Fest. This event features food trucks, live music, anti-human-trafficking speakers, and numerous organizations and vendors who are all united against human-trafficking.  The purpose of the event is to create funding and awareness for anti-human trafficking efforts in the Tampa Bay Are and across the globe.

During the event planning for the second annual event, Kole and Schultz were researching the topic of human trafficking and one of their consultants mentioned the fact that if more businesses were willing to hire individuals who were coming out of the lifestyle that it would make a huge impact toward ending human trafficking. About this same time, Kole and Schultz were given a one color screen printing press. The two did not see this as a coincidence.
​
For the next two years, Kole and Schultz devoted themselves to learning the craft of screen printing with the hope of one day having a business that could create jobs for individuals who have been rescued from human trafficking. It is with great confidence that we invite you to join us on this journey. Every purchase made through Convicted Printing moves the business one step closer to our goal of helping undo the hurt that is so present in our world.

I am passionate about seeing people encouraged. Many times we live in chains that our minds have created. Let's break those chains together. Join the encouragement.

I really enjoy seeing progress in my personal life, my businesses, and in others.

I am convicted to help others become better, one step at a time, together.

I’ve been working at Convicted Printing for around 5 years now. I have seen this company grow and have been along for the ride since nearly the beginning.

I have a beautiful wife, crazy dog, play guitar in a band (Forthteller), book shows (The Noise Box), and love coffee.

I am convicted about the broken hearted who deserve the same chances everyone else does. Just because you’re broken doesn’t mean you need to be fixed, it may just mean you need someone to talk to. I’m that guy if you ever need it.

​"All things are full of weariness;
    a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
    nor the ear filled with hearing.
What has been is what will be,
    and what has been done is what will be done,
    and there is nothing new under the sun."
~Solomon

""Whither is God?" he cried; "I will tell you. We have killed him -- you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him."
~Nietzsche

So I guess this is where
I tell you what I learned.

My conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is hate is baggage. 

Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. 

Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best so if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong.

So I picked a guy I thought you'd like:

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our
bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory
will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the
better angels of our nature.""
~Lincoln
