Spend just a few minutes with David "Jerry" Hill, the new California State Printer, and you'll feel like you've been friends for years. His cordial demeanor puts newcomers at ease as he quickly launches into stories from his long life in the printing business. And having spent nearly every one of his 66 years in a print shop, Hill has a lot of tales to tell.

As the largest state printing operation, California’s Office of State Publishing (OSP) has a long and eventful history, dating back to 1850. In recent years, the 135-employee in-plant has been overseen by Acting State Printer Kevin Hannah, but last month the operation got a new leader when David “Jerry” Hill was sworn in as the new State Printer.
