Meet Team TEK

TEK Printing was founded in 1986 when Kirk Pederson recognized that while many printers offered excellent quality or decent prices, few offered both coupled with solid customer service. Thus, TEK Printing was born to serve the printing needs of Southern Oregon & Northern California (and now thanks to the web, everywhere) Our goal is simple: Do the best work at the best price in a timely manner, and be nice about it while we're at it.

KIRK PEDERSON - OWNER/SALES
Kirk opened his own printing business (and changed his name) primarily to escape the Paparazzi. A famous producer/director, Kirk had grown weary of the lights, camera and action so he decided to move to Oregon. His business, like his movies, has naturally become a great success. In addition to running the business he also enjoys his role in sales because it allows him to indulge his love of theater. Kirk@TEK-Printing.com

TROY KRASZNAVOLGYI - SALES
Troy was forced to give up a lucrative and high profile job wrestling gators in Florida when he suffered an injury to his Sacroiliac. At a loose end Troy eventually decided that the next best thing to fighting alligators would have to be printing sales. he has enthusiastically embraced this new career although, he candidly admits to missing what he refers to as his "gator groupies". TroyK@TEK-Printing.com

PAULA VAN LOAN - SALES
Our new salesperson is shrouded in mystery. The most credible theory (or at least the most popular in the office betting pool) is that Paula was forced into the Witness Protection Program after testifying in a trial against a Chicago mob boss. Paula had been an undercover agent for the FBI doing all sorts of questionable things in her relentless pursuit of justice. Now she lives in the ‘burbs with her Corgi, works in printing sales and tries not to think about the excitement and danger she left behind in Federal Law enforcement... There are other theories about her past of course, but most of them are just silly. Paula@TEK-Printing.com

NOBLE PORTER - INTERNET SALES/ORDER CONTROL CSR
Noble has repeatedly stated that printing for him is just a means to an end. While his work in customer service and Internet sales is excellent, his true passion is the ever-changing field of UFO research. Noble became interested in the phenomena at a Christmas party, at his home several years ago, when he peered out a window to see several mysterious colored lights in the sky. Noble has steadfastly refused to accept the mundane explanations of other partygoers that these lights were actually a string of Christmas lights from his own house that had come loose and were blowing in the winter wind.Noble@TEK-Printing.com

CHRIS STURGEON - Customer Service
Chris at one time was a well-respected foreign correspondent covering the news in the most dangerous places on Earth. Her interviews of high profile rebel leaders, arms smugglers and suspected terrorists brought her within a hare’s breath of winning a Pulitzer. Unfortunately, her career began winding down because of her inability to control her cheerfulness in the morning. The enthusiasm with which she embarked on each new day with a big smile began to grate on the already jangled nerves of her potential interviewees and her resources dried up (Rebels, smugglers and terrorists are not “morning people”). She eventually came to the conclusion that she would take her radiant personality to an industry where it would be needed and appreciated... printing. Chris@TEK-Printing.com

JANET RAINS - CUSTOMER SERVICE
Janet joins the TEK Team by way of a tragedy. Janet was forced to give up a successful career as a telephone psychic when she suffered a head injury as a result of a carelessly discarded espresso mug thrown from a passing hot air balloon. The resulting trauma diminished her ability to the point where all she can see of the future is whether or not the nearest traffic light will be green or not before she reaches it. She has adapted to her new role in printing with remarkable grace and we are pleased to have her on-board. Janet@TEK-Printing.com

ERNIE HINCHCLIFFE - ART DIRECTOR
Former Dalai Lama and world class Skeet Shooter, Ernie (or E.T. as he is called by people who like to give other people nicknames), turned in his rifle and robes for a pen when he discovered he could make more money as an artist than at shooting clay pigeons or praying. Ernie has given rise to prominence and is arguably one of the finest commercial artists on the west coast (Arguably because commercial artists are a squabbling sort of crowd.). ET@TEK-Printing.com

BRENT STALEY - GRAPHICS/TYPESETTING
Brent of course, remains heavily medicated as the number of rush jobs and customer supplied Publisher files continue to increase and push him ever closer to the brink of screaming lunacy. His latest claim is that he was bitten by a werewolf on a balmy summer evening while strolling through the woods. His wife however has confirmed to the rest of the staff that the "werewolf" in question was actually a wiener dog that nipped at his ankle at the dog park. Brent@TEK-Printing.com

JUANITA HERNANDEZ - ACCOUNTING
A successful writer of romance novels, Juanita decided one day to stop writing about romance and to go out and get some on her own. She packed up her stuff and went off on a 3-month trip to Europe. To her dismay, she discovered people in Europe are just as rude and cell-phone obsessed as they are here, and she returned home after gambling away the last of her writing money in Monte Carlo in an attempt to generate one of those steamy scenes you see in the movies. Juanita has since sworn off romance completely, and consequently decided to take up accounting Juanita@TEK-Printing.com

RUTH KATZENBACH - ACCOUNTING
Few people know that Ruth who is now a respectable Grandmother and extremely efficient and dependable bookkeeper here at TEK Printing, used to go by the name Vanessa VaBoom. She was known throughout the land (primarily in garages and fire stations) as the "September Girl" for her risqué bathing suit poses on the hood of brightly colored muscle cars. It's a bit disconcerting to those of us who know her now as she still occasionally elicits a whistle or two when walking to the mailbox. Ruth@TEK-Printing.com
