Up to the Challenge
Despite funding issues and shutdown threats, Walt Leonard has kept his in-plant going for 17 years.
He then took a job with a local commercial printer as a production manager while taking night classes at San Francisco State University.
“They put a suit on me and I somehow ended up in charge of 105 employees,” he says. “It still boggles my mind.”
He stayed with Royal Communicating Graphics, for two years and after earning his degree in Psychology, he moved north to Sonoma County. There Leonard opened his own high-end commercial printing company, Ajalon Printing. The small shop printed primarily posters and greeting cards. He managed its seven employees for 10 years until, after suffering a heart attack, he sold the business.
