Cody Scarberry and Sean Hohenstein had a lot in common \u2014 but their paths didn\u2019t cross until after graduation.<\/p>\n
They both graduated from Wright State University in 2012 with bachelor’s degrees in accountancy<\/a> and finance<\/a>. Both aspired to be business owners. Both worked at Dayton Freight Lines in the accounting department.<\/p>\n \u201cCody and I both went to Wright State, both accounting and finance majors and had never met each other,\u201d said Hohenstein. \u201cI didn\u2019t think there\u2019s a single person in those programs in the same year as me that I haven\u2019t met.\u201d<\/p>\n After graduation they worked in nearby offices at the Dayton-based trucking company \u2014 and even lived a few blocks from each other in downtown Dayton and teamed up on several projects and eventually learned they were both Raiders.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce we found out we both went to Wright State we kind of hit it off,\u201d said Hohenstein. \u201cWe went to basketball games and stuff like that and became great friends from there.\u201d<\/p>\n The two friends eventually decided that they wanted to explore some business opportunities together.<\/p>\n In 2019, Hohenstein and Scarberry purchased SpeedPro, a large-format printing company in Vandalia. The decade-old business, whose slogan is \u201cGreat. Big. Graphics,\u201d specialize in over-sized banners, indoor signage, vehicle and office graphics, and graphics for events and windows.<\/p>\n Scarberry says the connections he\u2019s made because of Wright State has made a huge impact on him personally and his business. \u201cThe people that I\u2019ve met along the way probably touch every piece of our business,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Hohenstein and Scarberry plan to grow their company by adding employees and equipment so they can assist clients with projects for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wright State graduates Cody Scarberry and Sean Hohenstein operate SpeedPro, a large-format printing company in Vandalia.
