Biography2005William L. Houghton
Bill Houghton began his print career in 1987 when a small local business forms distributor was willing to hire him as an account executive without a college degree. He had been in Las Vegas for six months and hadn't yet found what he felt was employment worthy of a long term commitment.

Silver State Computer Forms hired him at an hourly wage of $5. He knew nothing about the industry, but thought the title 'account executive' sounded good. Looking much younger than his 21 years, he was referred to as the 'Doogie Howser' of the print trade in downtown Las Vegas' glitter gulch. Bill actually earned the first of his stripes by calling on each hotel/casino in downtown Las Vegas every Thursday morning for more than 4 years, without fail.

Beginning in 1988 he transitioned to a commission only sales representative and continued to learn the industry rapidly by selling business forms, printing, checks and computer forms. The 5 years Bill spent in this capacity taught him much about selling in a very competitive market and demonstrated the very human side of the buyer/seller relationship. This, more than anything, is what drives Bill. He enjoys the challenges of the industry but he thrives on the opportunity to work with people and accomplish the possible and the impossible for his clients. This is what he truly enjoys the most about his industry and his profession.

1992 found Bill and his former boss leaving Silver State Computer Forms and opening Horizon Business Systems in a 1400 sq. ft. office warehouse in the rather blush colored 'red' district of Las Vegas. His most vibrant memories of their auspicious opening were the non-functioning phones for three days and the raid on the 'adult' store across the alley way - all that same week.

Having a good name and reputation in Las Vegas carried a great deal of weight then as now and their client retention percentage followed their move to the new company and remained close to 100%. They completed their first full year with about $500,000 in business and one employee. That employee was receptionist, office manager, bookkeeper, filing clerk, janitor and a nursing mother all rolled into one amazing individual and Bill is proud to announce she was recently promoted to VP of Finance. She has been working shoulder to shoulder with Bill since the beginning and he gives her much of the credit for any successes the company has experienced.

On the other hand, business partners are at best, a mixed blessing. While realizing he needed the three years in partnership as a chance to view the business from a personal liability/asset perspective, he also realized his partner had a greater tolerance for risk. In 1995 Bill initiated, negotiated and completed a buyout of his partner's interest and client base with gross sales remaining around $600,000 yearly.

This was the same year his 7 year volunteer career as a member of the organizing committee for The Las Vegas Jaycee State Fair culminated with his run as Chairman of the project. With a budget of $750,000 and 73,000 attendees, his was a formidable task even without the additional personal challenge of the recent buyout of his business partner. It was during this same event that he met his bride to be, Jenifer Grace, who was completing her reign as the 1994 Jaycee State Fair Queen. They married the following spring and are now the joy filled parents of four amazing children, Rosie - age 7, Cooper - age 5 Peyton Grace born the summer of 2003 and Paige, born on her daddy's birthday, Jan 2005.

Through the mid 90s, the market began changing rapidly as the quality of laser printers improved and replaced the need for continuous forms printers. Horizon Business Systems' core competency - continuous forms, the largest product line in their company, started to decline rapidly in use worldwide. What used to be very large orders for invoices became blank paper orders - IF we were lucky.

An overall company transformation and direction was necessary for survival so Horizon Business Systems changed their byline from 'A Business Forms Company' to A Printed Products Company'. They educated themselves on and began offering more than two dozen new product lines during the mid to late 90s. Labels, promotional products, binders, tab sets, attire and executive gifts are examples of the additional product lines they became skilled at offering. The 90s represented an aggressive growth pattern; averaging 28% yearly and Bill credits their expansion into additional product lines as the primary cause.

It was during the late 90s when Bill determined 'services' was the direction to pursue if he wanted to retain a competitive advantage. Presenting clients with offerings such as the production and fulfillment of online product catalogs, external data processing services and warehousing seemed the logical choices to direct their efforts. These tools were a concrete demonstration to Horizon Business Systems' clients of the continuing desire and commitment to be a business solutions provider.

In 1995, Bill's commitment to the Jaycee organization and his efforts as the Las Vegas Jaycee State Fair Chairman earned him a lifetime membership in Junior Chamber International. He served on over half dozen different board positions in the local and state Jaycee organizations and had the opportunity to travel throughout the state and nation on their behalf throughout his Jaycee career.

He has held a position of responsibility in many different volunteer capacities over the years and credits his grandfather, Big Bill, who inspired him to always help others. Bill's grandfather, with whom he shared a birthday, brought Christmas to a few hundred children in their hometown, every year, for decades. Most years, Grandma and Grandpa were too tired to join them for Christmas after completing their work at The Kris Kringle project for the VFW Cottam Hafen post. But, Bill learned from his Grandfather that community participation and volunteerism is a wonderful way to reap the richness of life through sharing and giving.

While Bill derives a great deal of satisfaction through his work to improve the print industry and his community, he most enjoys his family time. He and his family travel often to nearby cities for 3 or 4 day retreats and have 'family day' almost every week. His other interests include reading (biographies are his favorite), traveling, hiking, camping and golf. He is a member of numerous organizations including the Young Entrepreneurs Organization, Junior Chamber International, Nevada JCI Senate, Greater Las Vegas Jaycees, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation - Nevada Chapter and the Las Vegas Senior Citizens Mobile Home Community Foundation.1
