Quarterly Update :::::

Hi everyone.  We are already nearly halfway through the year and want to give you a little update. This quarter we have focused on making Revolution Screening the place to go in West Sacramento for your customized goods.  Our Grand Opening in May was a great success thanks to the West Sacramento Chamber of Commerce and help from our friends and family. Our name is spreading thanks to referrals from you! This last month we were pleased to work with Fitness System, our neighbor, the West Sacramento Foundation, and several of the All Star Teams for Washington Little League and Softball League. Because of all this new business we were looking to add to our personnel. We here at Revolution Screening are happy to introduce our 2 new employees to you. Below is a little blurb of each one. I haven't snapped a picture yet of Lisa, but as soon as I get one I'll update this post. We are very excited about our recent growth and these two new smiling faces will definitely help us to continue it. Without further ado...

Lisa Breckenridge
Position - Front Office Assistant (really she is keeping us organized)

Lisa has held a variety of jobs throughout her life, primarily working in an office setting. She has worked for an auto and tractor supply store as a parts runner, a customer service rep for Montgomery Wards (remember them?), an administrative assistant for a geo-technical firm and she was an office manager for a mechanical engineering firm.  Lisa has a 9 year old son who is involved in soccer and Little League baseball.  She gladly wears the hat of Team Mom for both of his teams.  When she is not play team mom or working hard at her job, Lisa enjoys keeping up her garden, going camping or just spending time outdoors.  We are happy to have her working with us and keeping our paperwork in order. 


Kyle Olson
Position - Screen Printer extraordinaire

Kyle started working with us at the end of May.  He splits time working with us and a local restaurant in Davis. Kyle really enjoys the process of screen printing and he actually taught himself how to print T-shirts while on a year-long tour with his band, "Calling Morocco." He is a talented musician (we enjoy listening to one of his Cd's in the shop) and has toured the world playing music. Below are some of his musical accomplishments.
Played in a band called SecondShot from 2003-2010.
-We played 10 of the west coast Warped Tour dates in 2005
-Toured Japan in 2005
-Toured France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Japan in 2008

Played in Calling Morocco from 2009-2012
-Toured for a full year straight from 2011-2012
-We printed all of our t-shirts from the road and that's how I learned to print

A neat fact that ties Kyle into the screen printing industry is that he used to play shows with Ryan Moor of Ryonet when he was in high school and Ryan's band, "Not Long After", would come through on tour. Ryonet is the company that we purchase many of our supplies from. Small world!  Kyle has really sold into Revolution Screening and what we are trying to do. We are lucky and happy to have him working with us.
