Sales Directors
Jamie Carr
Operating Shareholder & Sales Director
Jamie’s start within the industry began similar to that of his brother Randy. Working in various positions within his father’s company, he solidified his foundation for what would soon be a very rewarding career. Upon his father’s passing in 2000, Jamie also took leadership roles in various areas of the company infrastructure which were crucial to maintaining the family business. Managing several departments from Shipping to Screen Printing, Jamie found his contribution to his company was best served within the realm of Sales. Since then, with Jamie at the helm, World Emblem has gone from a one-manned Sales department to that of 20 sales and territory account managers in various territories throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. Along with his brother, Jamie continues to strive for newer and better heights, pushing the capabilities of his father's company beyond horizons never previously dreamed of.
