Kallas has been much more cautious in recent years, since taking the helm as president of Vancouver, BC-based Metropolitan Fine Printers (a.k.a., MET) in 2010. He'd graduated from the University of Western Ontario in London, ON, in 2001, with a BA in economics, then returned to MET and did odd jobs, cleaning and sweeping the shop floor. He went on to do a tour of the shop, working for roughly a year in virtually every department—prepress, press, accounting, estimating and coordinating. Upon completing his education on the job, Kallas worked in sales for about five years, building a portfolio of business that he still manages on the side.
