Founded in 2008 by Mark Hawkins and Carol Pedersen, InkPeace serves the Greater Long Beach, Lakewood, and Signal Hill California area.
Carol is a CPA and has been in private practice for three decades. Mark has been in the computer, travel and real estate industries. His team pioneered the first major online travel booking business (Internet Travel Network) before joining eBay founder, Pierre Omidyar, in producing Electronic Travel Auction, the first major online travel auction. Later, Mark's partners created ShopNow.com (a shopping network) and SmartShip.com (a logistics company), before returning to the non-virtual world in the Long Beach, California area.
The InkPeace business plan is flavored with programs designed to benefit the community.
InkPeace clients include schools within the Long Beach Unified School District, Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Signal Tribune newspaper, the City of Long Beach, and hundreds of private businesses and individuals.
Through the confluence of community activism, environmental consciousness, and economic uncertainty, InkPeace is here at the right time to provide products and solutions.
We ask that you support local, independent businesses like ours and participate in our programs promoting recycling and raising funds for the common good.
Sincerely,
Mark Hawkins Carol Pedersen
