Sanders Wallis holds a Bachelor of Business in Management degree from the University of Georgia. He received the degree in 2008, and went to work right away for an Atlanta company called Cbeyond, Inc., a telecommunications firm. He stayed there for a year and a half and became one of its top producers, and then went to work for the Wallis Printing Company, a firm that was founded by his grandfather in 1953.
As the company's Director of New Business Development, Sander Wallis works hard to provide the company with guidance in strategic business plans, marketing materials, and organizational structure. He enjoys getting away from it all by playing tennis and running, but says that what he really looks forward to most are his annual ski trips to Beaver Creek, Colorado. "I go to Beaver Creek every year for a couple of days," he says. "You fly into Eagle-Vail, and it's about thirty minutes away from there." Beaver Creek is one of the most popular ski destinations in the Rocky Mountain State. The ski area operates on part of the National Forest System under a special use permit to the White River National Forest. Operated by Vail Resorts, the ski resort consists of three ski villages. The Beaver Creek ski area very nearly hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 1976. Plans had been approved and were in the works but derailed by a voter-approved referendum that stopped state funding for the Olympics. The Winter Games were then re-assigned to Innsbruck Austria. It is only a minor coincidence that Sanders Wallis has a small connection to Innsbruck. He took several classes at the University of Innsbruck in 2006 in a program set up through the University of Georgia. |
