Mpress Founder Lee May, Santa Cruz Digital Printing Pioneer

Lee MayLee's experience in graphics and printing goes back to his college days at UC Davis. While he was working on a BS degree in Renewable Natural Resources, he ran the school daily newspaper. After graduation he became manager at the local Davis paper and then moved on to a job at the San Jose Mercury News.

In 1977, Lee opened Metro Type and Design in Soquel which became the largest typesetting and design business on the Central Coast. He embraced the rapidly changing technology in printing throughout the 80's and 90's, and incorporated technologically-advanced equipment into his shop, which he ran until the mid-1990's.

Lee shared his expertise in printing as a consultant for a few years and then started Mpress Digital in 1999. He assembled a unique combination of cutting-edge equipment to provide a range of high quality, quick turnaround printing services. With his background in environmental studies, Lee has always sought out the best ways to operate his business with a small energy footprint and use the most environmentally-friendly inks and paper.

"Santa Cruz is a wonderful community of businesses and organizations working to build something for themselves and make the world a better place. What I find most rewarding about my work is supporting these organizations, and getting to know my customers," said Lee.

Lee is a board member of Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Services, and a former board member of the Santa Cruz Symphony. He enjoys participating in volunteer work and is an avid bicyclist.
