Graduated from Hayden High School in 1985 and earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Washburn University in 1989. Konrade has also served as area manager and assistant production manager. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with various shifts, observe different management styles and gain a well-rounded understanding of the Topeka plant. Currently, my wife works only part time outside the home. This allows me more opportunity to meet my work demands, as well as giving her more time to prioritize my at-home projects.
Every day brings a new challenge.
Because of constantly changing technology and the creativity of students, no two yearbook pages are ever the same. I am also fortunate in that I work with a dedicated and industrious group of co-workers who are very focused on meeting our customers' needs. Yearbook production is a seasonal business. However, we often have a hard time recruiting and retaining qualified employees because they may only have a five-month season their first year. Once they are laid off, many first-year employees will seek employment that is full time.
