Anthony J. Farino III - President
Anthony started in the direct mail industry while he was still in college. He was attending college full time during the day and working 4:30pm to midnight at Long Island New York direct mail and Fulfillment center. During those long days he realized quickly that the direct mail industry was for him. With a strong background in database management, he continually took on additional responsibility until he was eventually running their computer service department. Fate ultimately led him to Houston. In 1996 Anthony was offered a position with a Houston based direct mail company and he made the big move to Houston Texas. After learning more of the variable print side of the direct mail business, Anthony eventually found himself working for a large full service commercial printer. It was there that he learned to printing side of the direct mail business. After less than a year, the commercial printer he was working for was acquired by large conglomerate and Anthony found himself unemployed for the first and only time in his career. At that point Anthony decided to bet on himself. In 1999, he took his savings and borrowed what he could to found Data & Mailing Resources. With a lot of hard work, lots of overtime and good amount of luck, DMR has grown into the company it is today. Twenty-five years later, Anthony is still very hands on with the daily operations, planning and executing long term projects, equipment research and acquisition, overseeing facility maintenance and improvements, overseeing accounting, as well as assisting in acquiring new accounts.
Anthony is very proud to call Texas, specifically Houston his home. His only son, Anthony IV, graduated from St Thomas High School and went on to earn his Bachelors and Masters from the University of St Thomas. Anthony spends most of his weekends at his home in Freeport Texas fishing, boating, grilling and just enjoying life on the water.
