Government Printing, Alaska Style

"From my living room window I can watch tour boats arriving in Juneau, whales and seals swimming after salmon and bears digging for roots and berries along the mountainside," says Pence.

Upon arriving in the Juneau area, Pence got a job as a mail carrier with the United States Postal Service, but soon decided it wasn't for him. So he enrolled in a vocational school. It was here that Pence discovered his love of printing. His first job was as a part-time, hourly employee with Alaska's Department of Labor print shop.
