Roasted Corn Salsa
More than three decades ago, Laurie McCulley came into DPI as a customer. She was inquiring about getting copies of her resume so she could send applications for graphic design positions. Instead, she was offered a job at DPI. “The gal here at the time called me and wanted to know if I would be interested in a customer service position … temporarily,” Laurie recalls. “And I’m still here.” About four months into her job as a customer service representative and graphic artist, Laurie’s manager left for vacation and never returned. Laurie stepped up to do what needed to be done in that position, and after moving through the ranks at DPI, Laurie now serves as our vice president and production manager.
Corn is plentiful during the summer months, and this easy-to-make salsa is sure to be a hit at your next get-together.

Ingredients
Self-described as a “get-it-done” person, Laurie oversees our production department to ensure DPI runs efficiently and effectively. She manages about five to 10 of our largest accounts, including franchisers and those who ship products across the globe. Today, Laurie even assists some of the same customers she first managed when she began at the company.
• •
2 medium ears of corn, shucked
1 jalapeño or Fresno chile, seeded and thinly sliced
• •
1/2 red onion, diced
1 large tomato, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
“[The best part is] just getting to know the customers pretty well and kind of helping them find a path for quick and easy stress-free printing,” Laurie says.
• • •
1/4 bunch cilantro leaves, sliced
Juice of 1 lime
In the 30 years she’s been with DPI, Laurie has seen the business grow and transform through ownership changes, technology development, and product growth. With the latest addition of signage to DPI’s product lineup, Laurie says seeing the dynamic abilities of print products is her favorite part of the company.
Kosher salt, to taste
Directions
1. Heat a cast-iron skillet to high. Char corn, turning occasionally, for 10–14 minutes until kernels begin to blacken in spots. 2. Using a sharp knife, remove corn kernels from cobs and transfer to a large mixing bowl. 3. With a wooden spoon or potato masher, gently crush corn to release starch and juices. 4. Add jalapeño, onion, tomato, and cilantro. Mix to combine. 5. Top with lime juice and season with salt. 6. Serve alongside your favorite tortilla chips.
“Printing doesn’t just stand still,” Laurie says. “It’s always changing.”
In addition, Laurie values the attitude of her team, even through recent periods of transition due to retirements. “What I appreciate is their work ethic and knowing that the customer pays their bills, so they strive every day,” Laurie says. “It’s a pretty tight schedule here. We take a lot of rush jobs; we take a lot of jobs that seem impossible to do … My teams have been really focused in there.”
After 30 years, Laurie’s focus on DPI has been nothing but stellar. Thank you for all your hard work and continued dedication, Laurie!
