A New California State Printer

Hill began his career more than 40 years ago alongside his father in his family’s printing business. After running that business in the late '60s and early '70s, he went into business for himself, specializing in short-run color printing and publications.

In the late '70s, Hill began teaching high school and community college students in graphic communications, and continued doing so until the late '90s. He later went on to hold positions as sales executive, director of sales, national account sales manager, general manager and chief operations officer for such companies as K/P Graphics, Pizzaz Printing and Publishing, Smith Erickson Advertising, Western Publishing, UARCO Business Forms, Mail Well, Anderson Lithograph and Consolidated Graphics. In the 2000s, Hill formed Hill’s Consulting, providing print industry consultation services on a number of regional and national projects.
