Merrill

President/Sales Manager

In the summer of 1975, I was a junior at Philadelphia College
of Art, majoring in printmaking, and I got a job in a small
print shop near my apartment. After thirty years, 3,000 miles
and many hats, it's still the only business I want to be in! |

Vice President/General Manager

I have been in the printing business for more than 32 years. With the summer off before college and my surfboard under my arm, I was ready for a good time. But within one week, my brother-in-law asked me to make deliveries and work in bindery for his shop. The rest is history. I have been a pressman, salesman, bindery operator, film stripper and platemaker. After 20 years of owning Auburn Printers & Integrated Marketing, I am still excited to come to work each day. The changes and challenges of our industry keep me excited about what I do. |

Jeff
Peres Production Manager
Email for more information
I started with Brad and Merrill in 1987, barely out of high
school. We were a stationery printer back then, and my first
job was to sweep floors and cut business cards. I soon learned
how to run a small press and eventually worked up to a 25"
Heidelberg. After running large presses for 10 years, I moved
into production management and became the maintenance manager
for all the equipment and the building. In my spare time I
enjoy building custom hot rods and this hobby keeps my mechanical
skills up to par, which helps me keep our press and bindery
equipment running smoothly. I am a hands-on manager and work
well side by side with my production employees to ensure that
we put out the best product possible. |

Kelley Buxton
Operations Manager

I was born and raised in printing… while others had paper routes, I was making scratch pads, collating or gluing the tabs on presentation folders. So it was only fitting I would continue my roots and join the fabulous world of printing. I have worked for several Sacramento printers and worn numerous hats, including bindery, mailing, customer service, production planning and inside sales. After taking a hiatus to raise my son and obtain a bachelor’s degree in business management, I am thrilled to say I am back in printing and LOVING IT!

I have been in the printing business so long, it has been
rumored that I apprenticed for Gutenberg. While that rumor
is false, I do have more than 50 years of print experience.
I even tried to retire a few years ago, but I am so involved
with the industry I just couldnt stay away! When I am
not working at Auburn Printers & Integrated Marketing, I enjoy working on things
around the house and yard, and just keeping my hands busy. |

I always knew I wanted to be a printer. At the young age of 13, I swept floors at my home-town Idaho newspaper. After a stint in the Army as a printer, a silk-screener in Germany and 14 years with an offset shop in San Francisco I moved to the foothills to raise my family. I started North Star Printing in Grass Valley and provided high-quality printing to local companies for 18 years. After all this time printing is still my passion. My other passion is food (I guess you can call me “foodie”) and as a member of a local food coalition in Nevada County, I work to support local farmers for sustainable agriculture. Eat local! |

Mikkel Moller Integrated Marketing
Email for more information
I am not only new to Auburn Printers but also to Auburn, having recently gotten married and moved here. Yes, I am new to the business of printing, but not new to printing, having used many printing applications as a marketing person all my life. In addition, I started one of the first digital sign companies in Silicon Valley. My expertise is in CRM databases, Email & direct mail marketing, telemarketing operations, all of the various Internet marketing technologies, and the new social/networking media phenomenon. My forte is working with small to medium businesses. I wear Hawaiian shirts year around, am a great cook, and my favorite artist is Henry Moore, the British sculptor. When not at Auburn Printers, I listen to K-Love, read, fish or am sculpting my latest creation. |

Ann
Moore Prepress Supervisor
Email for more information
I started out in the graphics trade industry 25 years ago
as a bookkeeper and driver. I moved my way up the ladder learning
different aspects of the trade. Later, I was hired as a stripper
at another print shop. When the trade started becoming more
digital-oriented, I quickly realized that I better learn how
to turn a computer on if I wanted to stay in this industry.
I am glad I did, because stripping is becoming a thing of
the past. This industry changes daily, which keeps me on my
toes and out of trouble. |

I started working for Auburn Printers & Integrated Marketing in April of 2006. I had just moved to Auburn from Minneapolis, MN and I needed a job fast. I started as a full time driver, and after a year, I moved into the Prepress Department. After six months in Prepress, I moved into the press room to run the new Heidelberg 2-color printing press. Then, with the introduction of our new Canon digital press, I returned to the Prepress/Digital Department and I am in charge of creating and printing variable data files. |

Donna Carver Accounting/Human Resources
Email for more information
I’ve worked in accounting departments for a few companies since 1974. The first company I worked for was Carpenter/Offut Paper in South San Francisco, where I stayed for seven years. I totally flunked their math test, but the Personnel Manager liked me, so I got the job. Numbers seem to be my game, although I had no idea when I started in 1974. The experience I’ve gained over the years working for some real characters has paid off. I started working for Auburn Printers & Integrated Marketing in August of 2006 and really feel like I’m at home. It is great to finally be appreciated for what I do. My passion is riding on the back of the Harley that my husband and I own. I can be in the worst mood, get on the Harley, go for a ride, and all is good.

Prince
Perfect Inspirational Liaison
Email for more information
I was born from the somewhat creative mind of Brad Weston
as the icon of Auburn Printers & Integrated Marketing. Once created and mounted on
the wall overlooking the front office, all I needed was a
name. Again, Brad's somewhat creative mind said, "Let's
have a contest to give him a name." Sparing no expense,
a contest began, with the winner getting a weekend in San
Francisco. Well, to say the least, I was anxiously waiting
for my name. After several weeks, it came down to 6 finalists:
"Extraordinhare," "Hop Tuit," "Rabbit
formally known as Prints," "Prints Charming,"
"Peter Pantone" and "Prince Perfect."
All the employees voted, and thanks to Cheryl Maki, the winner
of the contest, I have a name. |
