Name: Wesley

Employee Wes’s Favorite Canvas Press Order

Funniest on-the-job Story: Shortly after leaving Freescale, I went to have lunch with an old friend at Whole Foods. After discussing my new opportunity with Canvas Press, suddenly Kristin and I were being paraded through the Whole Foods offices downtown, and we were introduced to some folks working on the office décor. My first sales call happened before I actually started working the new job!

Favorite Color:Bright Yellow!

Dream Vacation: Fishing and camping deep in the Alaskan wilderness. With a guide.

Pets: Gus, adorable dog and faithful friend to Logan and Skye. Siamese cats Toby and Phoebe.

Music: Shinedown and 30 Seconds to Mars

Reads: Favorite book is Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. More recently Outliers by Malcom Gladwell was fascinating.

Last Movie Watched: Gran Torino – funny and a bit sad, but definitely worth watching

Guilty Pleasure: Sharing a bottle of wine and cooking a big meal!

On a Saturday I can be found: Playing tennis, running, and then undoing it all with a plate of wings at Plucker’s!

2009 Resolution: Try a new career outside of Freescale! And lose 20 pounds. Doing great on the first resolution – going backwards on the latter…

Autumn Lael Walker

Canvas Press CEOs Doak and Jenny Walker are proud to announce the birth of their daughter Autumn Lael Walker. Autumn arrived after much anticipation at 2:01pm on March 3, 2009 weighing 8lbs. 7ozs. She already has her dad singing The Temptations 1965 hit “My Girl”. We wonder how long it will take her to learn to stretch a canvas. Hmm…..
