Providing Lexington, KY with free, quality publications for over 15 years.
We're a small company with big ideas. In 2009, we transitioned all but one of our publications from newsprint
to a
glossy 8.5x11 magazine style. With strong distribution and a defined target for each of our magazines,
we expect big things in 2010!

With over 20 years experience in the field of business management, advertising, marketing and public relations,
John brings the skill level needed to meet the many challenges found in today's market. John draws from this
background to make sound decisions to ensure the continued growth of Sampler Publications. The question,
"how will this decision benefit our clients?" is always in the forefront.
John strongly believes the representation of Sampler Publications is a direct reflection of his own values. That is
why "the customer must always come first" is not just a catch phrase or a business strategy, but a core part of this
company's make up.
Community involvement is one of the more rewarding duties as publisher. John gives support to many local charities
and non-profits. Some include MDA, American Diabetes Association, Mayor's Task Force, Local First Lexington and
LexArts.
Sampler Publications was founded in 1992 with the launch of Sampler Magazine. John launched this publication
shortly after graduating from Xavier University with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Marketing. The creation
of Sampler Magazine was mainly out of necessity due to the tough employment market in the field of advertising
(please visit the company history section of this site).
Most valued in John's life are family and friends. He spends most of his time with his wife, Julie, and two daughters,
Sarah and Emily. He also values time playing softball, sailing and going to UK and Lexington Legend's games.
