About Barb

An Oregon native, Barb graduated from the University of Oregon’s Lundquist School of Business in 1980 and continued to work for Fred Meyer Inc. where she had worked through high school and college. During the next 10 years, working in Eugene, Albany, Salem, Gresham, and Tualatin, she rose through the Fred Meyer ranks to Store Director. After purchasing Sir Speedy Printing in 1988, Barb joined the company full time in 1990. Owning a business had been a goal for Barb and Nick and the printing business has been gratifying on both a personal and professional level for the past 21 years. She says every day is different, every job is unique and the staff and customers make it a pleasure to come to work each day. On the “off hours” she enjoys keeping up with family events, switching up the décor at home, driving her Z3 convertible on sunny days, tending to the rose garden, long walks, hanging out at the pool and being amused by their constant canine companion Zoë.
