Joe Tucker: Bringing Efficiency to Ohio
After retiring, Tucker returned to his home state and took a job with state procurement. He worked closely with the former state printing administrator, Bob Schleppi, who eventually hired Tucker to oversee the transition of print procurement from state purchasing into state printing. When Schleppi retired in 1998, Tucker was asked to take his job in an acting role, then later permanently.
Bob has served as editor of In-plant Impressions since October of 1994. Prior to that he served for three years as managing editor of Printing Impressions, a commercial printing publication. Mr. Neubauer is very active in the U.S. in-plant industry. He attends all the major in-plant conferences and has visited more than 180 in-plant operations around the world. He has given presentations to numerous in-plant groups in the U.S., Canada and Australia, including the Association of College and University Printers and the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association. He also coordinates the annual In-Print contest, co-sponsored by IPMA and In-plant Impressions.
