These are the Craftsmen that make up Your Ansun Team
Jared M. Massett
CEO & Director of Sales
I welcome you to the Ansun Graphics website. Here you will find our capabilities, samples of work, contact info and a team filled with years of experience and knowledge in the industry. As co-owner, I take pride in the work that we do and welcome any questions or inquiries that you may have. I lead the sales, customer service and estimating team that gets your projects into the works. Whether it’s graphic design, offset printing, digital printing, finishing, mailing, signage, promotional products or apparel, Ansun is the team for you. Let’s introduce you to the rest of the Ansun “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now” team and thank you for visiting our website!
Gerald “Jerry” Markee
CFO & Plant Manager
Although Jerry has been with Ansun for over 20 years, in 2022, Jerry joined our management and ownership team. Our former Digital Press Supervisor and past Pressroom Supervisor, he uses his knowledge to oversee our entire production process. Jerry’s presence will create a more efficient and accurate process through the entire shop. His personality and infectious smile, makes him a strong leader and a great co-worker too.
Todd Thomas
Vice President
As an original founder of Ansun Graphics, Todd has been here since day one. Actually, even prior to day one. You’ll find him assisting in the majority of the day to day matters including HR, payroll, benefits, estimating, client services, inside sales. He has also been known to make critical deliveries in a pinch. Todd is incredibly involved and takes the lead in our daily production meetings. When he’s able to get out from the office responsibilities to see clients, he’s greeted with hugs and smiles. Clients value and appreciate his tremendous attitude, upbeat personality and that “GQ cover look”!
Duane Defrees
Project Manager & Estimator
Duane is our project manager/inside sales and brings with him a tremendous amount of knowledge and industry experience. As a hardworking, fun and driven team member, Duane is handling many customer service needs, along with estimating, ordering of materials and coordinating schedules with outside vendors. Drop Duane an email or give him a call to get the cost of your next project.
Brooke Markee
Apparel & Promotional Product Manager/Project Manager
Brooke joined the Ansun team a few years ago, bringing youth, energy and organization to the mix. Brooke is our Apparel & Promotional Product Manager and has a tremendous amount of knowledge with screen print, embroidery and promotional products. Her attention to detail and fantastic personality, easily allows her to be a client favorite. She’s also a fantastic teammate here at Ansun and we look forward to her continued growth.

Jodi Corsoniti
Business Development Strategist
We’re excited to share that Jodi, a long-time friend, and supporter of Ansun Graphics, has joined our team as Business Development Strategist! After an accomplished career and an early retirement, Jodi was ready for a new challenge — and we couldn’t be happier that she chose to join us. Jodi brings her trademark enthusiasm and positivity to this new role, where she’ll focus on building new client relationships and helping businesses discover all that Ansun Graphics has to offer. We’re thrilled to have her on board as we continue to grow and strengthen Ansun’s presence throughout Central New York. Feel free to reach out to Jodi to learn more about our print capabilities — she’d love to connect!
Chasity Neivel
Graphic Design & Client Services
Chasity is our Lead Designer, with a tremendous amount of talent, vision and skills. Her education and background, bring years of experience in design and creativity. She’s also invaluable in what she offers in customer service/sales support. You will find Chasity’s experience and driven personality, exactly what you need to get your project from concept/idea to reality. Contact Chasity or arrange a time to come in and have her design your next project. Our Design Team adds that coveted in-house “concept and design” ability that so many of our clients need and many of our competitors do not offer.
Jane Sadler
Graphic Design & Client Services
Jane is a unique and talented member of the Ansun team. With a degree in Art & Art Education, we are incredibly happy that she chose this industry. (Although she would have been every child’s favorite teacher for sure). Jane’s attention and focus is shifting to a limited role, where she will handle special assignments and projects, along with spending time with her new granddaughter. No worries though, she is still part of our Ansun Team.
Paul Cantello
Pre-Press Supervisor
Paul is also a fairly new Team Member to Ansun and brings with him many years of experience. From old school “hands on” table stripping of films and negatives, to vacuum frame plate making. He now handles all of our pre-press files, impositions, RIPs and plate making. Paul is the quietest of our Team Members and honestly one of the nicest people you can ever meet too.
Trish Cappotto
Digital Press Supervisor
Trish runs our digital press department and also returns to our Team as a former Team member a few years ago. Trish brings with her tremendous knowledge in the digital press, plating, pre-press and pressroom areas. Trish is an incredibly hard worker, getting projects through in a timely manner with a high level of quality and consistency. We couldn’t be happier in having Trish return to the Ansun Team!
Todd Dorsey
Lead Six Color Pressman
Todd runs our six-color press and man he can make it sing! As a longtime pressman with a tremendous amount of talent, Todd produces amazing quality. Along with being a talent on the press, he has a great personality when dealing with clients and press-checks. Send your next print job in to Ansun and then come hear it sing with Todd and Jim.
Jim Wenham
Six Color Pressman and Lead Two Color Pressman
Jim runs our six-color press with a true passion for what we do. With Jim’s talent, it makes Ansun have the best “one-two” pressroom punch in CNY. When he’s not running the six-color press, you’ll find Jim overseeing our busy two-color press workflow. Jim’s tremendous attitude, passion and desire to learn also has him running some die-cutting and finishing equipment too.
Mike Kline
Six Color Pressman/Feeder Operator
Mike Kline returned to Ansun and plays a valuable role in supporting our pressroom productivity. Another true craftsman of the trade, that has spent his entire career as a pressman. Mike’s presence is allowing us to produce more presswork and doing so very efficiently. He has a very upbeat personality and one that is always ready to “get’r done!”.
Bob Pfeiffer
Bindery Technician
Bob has years of experience and knowledge that spans the industry. Having ran a printing press back in the day, Bob now handles many of the bindery needs including the operation of the cutter, folder, and saddle stitcher. He’s a perfectionist to a fault and his own biggest critic. At the end of the day, he wants your finished piece looking “better” than you could have ever imagined.
Connie Allen
Bindery Technician
Connie joined our Team and also has years of experience and knowledge in the bindery. “Pound for pound”, Connie is probably the toughest Team Member we have! Connie’s specialty is running the Omega stitching machine that puts together, and finishes saddle stitched books. She’s also great running the folder and our digital scoring/perfing machine. Her reliability and hard work ethic, matches our Team atmosphere for sure!
Ansun Delivery Ambassador – Ethan
Ansun Delivery Ambassado
Our “Transportation Ambassador” consists of Ethan Post. While delivering your proofs, samples or finished pieces, Ethan will also make sure that you get the service with a smile. As an extension of our sales team and many times the face of the company, you’ll find this young man to be helpful and pleasant in assisting you with everything you need. 😊
