It didn't take long for Dave Schlueter, director of printing at Piper Jaffray, to learn printing would be his trade.

When he was young, his dad would occasionally take him to work at Jensens Printing in Minneapolis, and he remembers feeling awestruck by the huge presses. That sense of wonder led him to major in graphic arts at the city's Dunwoody College of Technology, where he also earned an IPMA Student of the Year Award. It wasn't long before in-plant printing became his life's work.
