Chris Hemesath, a San Diego native and de facto beach bum, has worked in the publishing industry as a book production specialist for twenty-five years. After working for several well-regarded publishers and packagers on every conceivable format of book, in 2017 Chris established Steelhead Book Services LTD, a print brokerage and book production services company that partners with select companies like the Collective Book Studio to manage print buying, manufacturing, and fulfilment operations. When not duking it out with printers on schedules and pricing, Chris can be found either hiking, snorkling, or most likely chasing after his two young daughters.
