John Goodfellow 

John Goodfellow has had an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age. At just 12 years old, he began his first job as a paperboy for his local newspaper in New Mexico. By the time he graduated from high school, he was managing the Peanut Shack at his local mall, where he oversaw the sale of specialty chocolates and nuts. 

John later pursued a career in occupational therapy, earning both master’s and doctoral degrees in the field. He went on to found Goodfellow Therapy in Fresno, California. Under his leadership, the practice grew to become the largest pediatric therapy provider in Central California. 

After nearly 22 years as a successful small business owner, John sold Goodfellow Therapy to pursue his passion for travel and explore the world. While enjoying this new chapter, he realized how much he missed entrepreneurship. Seeking a new challenge, he decided to partner with like-minded, driven individuals, leading to the creation of Link Up Printing. 

Throughout his career, John has been recognized for his contributions to both entrepreneurship and community service. His honors include: 

• 2020 – OTAC Media Award, Occupational Therapy Association of California 

• 2015 – Torch Award for Ethics, Fresno Better Business Bureau 

• 2014 – Child-Friendly Business Award, First 5 Fresno County 

• 2012 – Health-Care Practitioner of the Year Award, Down Syndrome Society of Central California 

• 2011 – Entrepreneur of the Year Award, Occupational Therapy Association of California (OTAC) 

• 2007 & 2004 – Volunteer Award, Easter Seals Central California 

• 1997 – Student Service Award, Samuel Merritt College 

Today, John brings the same passion, integrity, and entrepreneurial mindset that defined his healthcare career to Link Up Printing, where he is committed to helping businesses and organizations grow through high-quality printing solutions and exceptional customer service.
