Founder Fred Canada began his career in 1962 running printing equipment in a Peoria, Illinois in-plant after doing a stint in the Marines. He was an office and facilities manager for Jostens - a national yearbook, medals & awards, and diploma company - where he created a national distribution network, installed tracking systems, and trained managers.

He was brought to the Seattle area to act as production manager for Clint Lee, the diploma manufacturing plant for Herff Jones.

At the age of 46, tired of producing stuff for people who made twice what he did, he charged into sales with A.B. Dick, selling equipment to printers. He was recognized for achieving Top Ten national ranking three times, twice finishing in the top 5 among 400 salespeople, allowing for some great trips to exotic locations on the company dime.

He is past owner of Princeton Press in Seattle, quadrupling its size after purchase, and also of The Station at Fishermen's Terminal, a mailbox/shipping company.

Fred has a brokers' license and specializes in business brokering and appraisals.
