Hey Vallejo! … In case you haven’t noticed it, our city’s on a roll and we’re loving it! Welcome to the fourth edition of the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce magazine, We Are Vallejo! We couldn’t be happier to bring you the ever-changing developments happening in and around our city. Things are really rockin’ here and the future looks better than ever! In this issue, we highlight some of those developments and the exciting businesses and community members that keep Vallejo movin’ forward. One highly anticipated new business, just opening, is Mare Island Brewing Company. We talked with owners Ryan Gibbons and Kent Fortner about their vision for their microbrewery and what it will bring to Mare Island and Vallejo. Great stuff! We also feature First Capitol Auction, a company that’s always moving, for obvious reasons! There’s nothing slow-going about the auction business and owners Eric Smith and Brian McKissack are no exception. Eric talks about how he and Brian have kept their business growing in Vallejo for more than fifteen years, almost all of that time under everybody’s radar. They are a real gem in our town. The Vallejo Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (CVB) has seen a great deal more action in recent years and they give us an overview of what’s hot and happening around V-Towne! Here at the Chamber, we’ve got some change coming up as well. It’s our norm this time of year as our current Chair, Tom Atwood finishes his last quarter and we prepare to welcome Chair Elect, Carol Larson. Tom’s efforts and accomplishments have been remarkable and we’re excited about the enthusiasm and experience Carol brings to the Board Room for 2015. As all of you, our fellow community members and business owners, continue to develop and revitalize our phenomenal city, we pledge to continue to spread the good word about our gem! We only have one question … You in? See you soon!

or Vallejo transplants, Ryan Gibbons (originally from Maryland) and Kent Fortner (from Kansas), balance is in their blood. Former winemakers in Napa, Gibbons and Fortner know what it takes to achieve optimum taste, and they just might be setting the trend of balanced brews. “Right now the trend is extreme, having a beer heavy on the hoppy side, for example.” Gibbons said. “What we strive for is a malt and hop balance.” The duo met in Napa while they were each pursuing the wine-making dream and have been friends for about ten years. Fortner moved to Mare Island with his wife to enjoy the better cost of living and Gibbons recently signed a lease to put down roots in Vallejo. Gibbons gained experience working for Lagunitas Brewing Company, one of the hottest brands in craft brewing right now, and Fortner developed the business plan for Mare Island Brewing Company. Their knowledge and experience mixed with the rich history of Vallejo and Mare Island is sure to result in the perfect balance of artisanal success that will fill a void for Vallejo. “Vallejo is a great place for business. We’re close to San Francisco and we have a half-million ferry travelers every year. But we saw something missing—the artisan brewing flare that you’ll find in most areas of California. That’s what we hope to bring with this brewery,” Fortner said. They sold their first keg in January and have been selling out ever since—just by word of mouth. “The response has been unbelievable,” Gibbons said. We had 550 people on our mailing list and 1200 Facebook likes before our doors even opened.” 6 | W E ARE VALLE JO!

M are I s la n d B rewi n g Com p a n y Although they are brewing and their beer is selling, they have been doing it in a temporary location. The permanent brewing will take place in the historic Coal Sheds on Mare Island and the Tap Room will open in the Ferry Building on the Waterfront in Vallejo. “It was a long process and there were a lot of hurdles to access the Coal Sheds but there is also a lot of satisfaction putting a landmark to perfect use. And we’ve had a lot of support from the City Council, from locals and from the Chamber,” Fortner said. “It was a year-long process and we had to get some laws changed that were enacted because of US Navy requirements that no longer exist. But we overcame the process and hope to be poster children for others … there is great opportunity for business here.” “Vallejo is one last gem in the Bay Area,” Gibbons added. “In ten years it will be a great city that has come back from an economic downfall. We are excited to be one of the startups to unite and help re-build this great town.” And in their quest to fill voids and unite a city, Gibbons and Fortner drew upon the incredible history of the area by using reclaimed lumber from Mare Island, a chalkboard from an old school, metal from local artists, an old spotlight from the Island that they will use for live entertainment, and other Mare Island Naval Shipyard artifacts people have donated to their décor. “Our brand grew out of the area. We didn’t have to build it, and that is really satisfying for us. The culture fits what we are doing,” Gibbons said. Call it a balance between old and new. Mare Island Brewing Company’s Tap Room is slated to open by early September. Long-term plans include having six of their own brews and two guest beers, which will give exposure to other breweries and aid their quest of making the area more known for craft beers. They will also offer a lighter fare menu with sausages, salads and paninis. During the rollout period, they will offer four beers: Saginaw Golden Ale, an “easy drinker,” Coal Shed Stout, the barrel aged Farragut Farm House Ale and an IPA called Hydraulic Sandwich. Saginaw? Coal Shed? Hydraulic Sandwich? For Gibbons, part of the fun is naming the beers. And there is a story behind each one. After all, when you start a business in a place with as much history as Vallejo and Mare Island, there’s got to be stories. Belly up and order one of each. The guys at Mare Island Brewing Company will be happy to tell you a story or two.

Meet the Present and Future of the Chamber These two Chairs aren’t taking a seat anytime soon.
Tom Atwood, current Chair of the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce To become Chair of the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce is to be a person who will be an asset to the business community and to the city. The current Vallejo Chamber of Commerce Chair, Tom Atwood, has fit the bill. But he’s not done yet. Atwood grew up in Contra Costa County and moved to Benicia in 2002. He joined Vallejo Insurance as a producer in 2003 and became partner in 2006. Vallejo Insurance Associates, LLC is a full service Property Casualty Agency and one of the largest insurance brokerages in Solano County. With its origins in the 1930s, iterations of Vallejo Insurance have insured families, small businesses, and commercial entities for over 70 years. Vallejo Insurance received the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce’s ‘Business of the Year’ in 2008. Vallejo Insurance has received “Best of” awards for its insurance services every year the awards have been presented … from 2005 through 2013. Currently, Tom is on VEBA’s Board of Directors as well as the Vallejo Chamber’s representative at Participatory Budget, Vallejo. He is incoming President of the Vallejo Executive Lions Club. Atwood began serving the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce in 2004 as an Ambassador and subsequently served as Vice Chair of Economic Development. Tom has also been involved with VBA and SEA networking. “The good thing about being the Chair is I got to surround myself with a great board of directors. They are hardworking and hard charging people. Knowing that staff is there to support you makes the decision easier,” he said. Atwood also said he enjoyed the challenge that many Chairs have seen in recent years: sustaining hard economic times, fostering relationships, and preserving for the betterment of business and community. “I wanted to be chair so that I could help the Chamber and the city grow. The chamber has been a driving force in Vallejo for so many years. With the economic downturn things kind of unraveled. Membership dropped substantially and participation in and at events fell commensurately. With the turnover in the leadership at City Hall, it was difficult to continue to regrow relationships on an almost annual basis. The Chairs and their boards during the last four-plus years have focused on the best way for the Chamber to succeed under trying times. Chairs Wilkerson and Coan did a great job keeping that focus on the long term goals while taking care of the short term hiccups that came along. Chair Manfredi continued that path and pushed us to focus on the business aspect regarding interaction with City Hall. Chair Dew-Costa really got communication flowing as well as making the Chamber’s presence felt in City Hall and with business owners. Each of them and their boards stuck with the Chamber and the City when times were tough. In the past, City Hall has been challenged by institutionalized processes, lack of direction, and lack of vision. I’m happy to say that I see, and I think a lot of businesses see, the mindset at City Hall is shifting. The Chamber absolutely wants City staff to succeed and will continue to help the city succeed,” Atwood said. Fall 2 0 1 4 | 11
M ee C hL air d OCR h t VA L L Et J Ot hN eAVA A ND aH n I ST I Cair A L M- EU le S E UcM Atwood has had three goals to accomplish in his year as Chair: • Revitalize the Chamber Ambassadors. “For the last few years, I felt the ambassadors were utilized in ways different from how I believed would benefit the Chamber. My goal for the Ambassadors is for them to grow to be future leaders in Vallejo. I want every business owner to know their names and that they, and the Chamber, are here to make business happen.” • Find the Chamber a permanent home. “The Vallejo Chamber has been renting its office location for years. It’s time the Chamber owned its own space. Fingers crossed … we’ll get it done.” • Increase membership. “While we are slowly increasing our membership count, we need more. The Chamber speaks to council about so many issues and projects to better Vallejo. We speak to city staff and work with staff for all of Vallejo. If the business community is successful, the city will be successful.” With several months to go in his tenure as Chair, Atwood has more to do in his seat and long after he gets up. His future plans in business and in city involvement? “Well, my business partners and I hope to be around here for a long time. Joining Vallejo Insurance Associates enabled me to work with people that were also leaders in the community. My current partners Jeanne Kilkenny-Turk and Henry Thorpe have helped me find the time to spend on chamber items and meetings. Kris Shirrell was an amazing coach, teacher and confidant; truly a great lady that will be missed by all of us for years. Tim Minahen, Dan Donahue, and Saint Hillyer helped me in my career, guiding me, supporting me. I hope to continue my community involvement through the Chamber and the Vallejo Executive Lions club … for many years to come.” If you see Tom around town, be sure to say hello. Because, after all, it’s the people of Vallejo that make this city so great. “What do I enjoy about doing business in Vallejo? The people. I don’t think I’ve met a citizenry that has more life. Vallejo has passion, drive, belief. The business owners and residents … the ones that made it through the recession … have a gritty determination to make this town the best city on the bay area. Within the next five years, we will see the ‘Potential of Vallejo’ realized,” Atwood said.
Carol Larson, Chair-Elect of the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce Carol Larson is no stranger to community involvement. And in January 2015, she will add to her repertoire of service by joining the 140-year tradition as the next Chamber of Commerce Chair. Native to San Francisco, Larson moved to Vallejo in 1979 with her husband Brad, and has two children, Matthew and Sierra. She is the owner of her own full-service graphic design and marketing firm, Georgia House Graphics, which she started here in Vallejo in 1987. “Vallejo and the Chamber of Commerce have provided me with great resources to help me establish and grow my business,” she said. “I look forward to helping others do the same when I take my seat as Chair of the Chamber board.” Photo by Ian Thurston Business support will be one of Larson’s primary focuses as Chair. “The Chamber gives its members a really great opportunity to connect with other local business in the community,” she said. “I really want to focus on helping our members’ businesses continue to grow and thrive in Vallejo.” “What a beautiful and welcoming city, Vallejo is!” Larson said. “It is a perfect time to help further the economic vitality of Vallejo. There is so much happening here, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. To be involved in this optimistic time of successful business, increased tax revenue, and greater opportunities to connect business with education is exciting.” Larson’s experience shows she will fill the seat perfectly. She has worked with many nonprofits, has been president of organizations and knows the city’s priorities. “I look forward to being a part of an ongoing commitment to the community and to working with others who have that same commitment,” she said. Her extensive list of service includes over 10 years of active membership on the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce Board, Chair of the Vallejo Tourism Business Improvement District, and Chair of the Lodging Committee. She was on the Board of Trustees of both the Silverado Concours d’Elegance Mare Island and the Vallejo Community Arts Foundation (of which she is past President). Larson also served as President of Soroptimist International of Vallejo, Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum and as Vice Chair of Tourism, Membership and Special Events for the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce. She was on the Board of Directors for Leadership Vallejo and Humane Society of the North Bay and was Co-producer and Marketing Director of the Vallejo Jazz, Art & Wine Festival for over ten years. She currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Vallejo Convention and Visitors Bureau. Larson is a recipient of the ATHENA Leadership Award, an honor presented annually to a woman in the community for professional excellence, community service and leadership skills. Larson’s celebratory career includes more than community service. She began her career with Rolling Stone magazine in San Francisco from 1970 to 1975 as production manager and photo editor. Then she was offered a job running the art department at Elektra Asylum Records in Los Angeles. This career experience allowed her to work on national advertising campaigns for top music groups of the time like The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell and more. “It was a fun, exciting time,” she said. “But, believe it or not, I love my life here in Vallejo even more. Having my own business, setting my own hours, engaging with the community—it hardly feels like work at all; I love it all so much and enjoy working with our businesses and nonprofit community.” Larson’s current business is just as electric … but in a different way. Georgia House Graphics develops, designs and executes marketing strategies and materials to create exciting, effective and award-winning print solutions for businesses and organizations. It was named Business of the Year by the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce in 2000 and again in 2012 and was named Best of Solano for Graphic Design for more than eight years. Larson is fully qualified for her new role as Chair of the Chamber and looks forward to getting started. “I am very excited to be taking office while we are seeing such an improvement in the economic vitality of our city,” she said. “With our talented Board of Directors and staff, I am confident we can continue to make a difference next year and have a very positive impact on our city. I’m ready to help make it happen.” Join us in welcoming Carol to her next role in our great community! 12 | WE ARE VALLE JO!

At a Glance: First Capitol Auction
14 | WE ARE VALLE JO!
F
ounder, Eric Smith, selected his company’s name to acknowledge its first home. In 1985, First Capitol Auction, Inc. originated in Benicia, CA, which is recognized as the site of the first erected state capitol building in California. About 15 years ago, Smith moved his business to Vallejo. “Vallejo has been good to us,” Smith said. “It is just a better fit. We enjoy the central location.” And that move was most appropriate as Vallejo, CA is the actual “first Capitol” of California. Smith was soon joined by partner Brian McKissack. From the beginning, Smith and McKissack based their business model upon auctioning construction equipment, vehicle and other asset seizures for the benefit of public entities, as well as rental yards and lending institutions. A true auction company, meaning no minimums and no reserves, First Capitol Auction keeps growing, with approximately $30 million in sales each year. Smith attributes much of the company’s success to their longevity in the bay area. “We’ve been here 20-plus years and have established a good reputation,” he said. Smith also said the relationships they have built and maintained with government agencies, contractors and lenders and their dedication to understanding buyers, sellers and prevailing market conditions helps maximize the sales value for their clients, which keeps business booming. “We really try to help the buyer as well as the seller,” Smith said. “Both relationships are key to achieving a valuable sale for all parties.” The majority of auctions are conducted at First Capitol’s 10-acre Vallejo facility. This site is strategically located so as to serve both the San Francisco Bay Area and the greater Sacramento metropolitan area. The location provides direct freeway access via Interstate 80 and can also be reached by Amtrak and ferry. “Our site provides ample opportunity for storage, display, loading and unloading, as well as a 10,000 square foot building for inside display and security,” Smith said. In addition to selling onsite, First Auction is also an online auction company, allowing buyers from all over the globe. “We’ve had buyers as far away as Dubai,” Smith said. Despite the global market, finding new business can still be a challenge. As business becomes more competitive, Smith said First Capitol still sells more city and county vehicles than any other auction company in California. What other challenges does he face? “Besides avoiding getting an ulcer?” he said. “I just welcome the challenge that this business is different every day. I enjoy that.” And that difference is what makes First Capitol a true fit for Vallejo.

What’s Happening
in Vallejo?
An update from the Convention and Visitors Bureau 16 | WE ARE VALLE JO!
A
few years ago, Vallejo was coined “America’s Most Diverse City” so it’s no surprise that there are always unique, ethnic, cultural celebrations going on here. And people of Vallejo wouldn’t have it any other way. From the Solano County Fair to Shakespeare in the Park to the Intertribal Pow-Pow, Vallejo’s entertainment is as diverse as its citizens, something Vallejoans love to celebrate. But what else is there to celebrate in this city? And what events get people from all over the Bay Area talking? Mike Brown, Executive Director of the Vallejo Convention and Visitors Bureau, relocated to the Vallejo area for the theme park that is now Six Flags. Brown said the amusement park, which beginning in 2014 is now open year-round, is the reason the CVB exists. Six Flags is by far the biggest draw to Vallejo. But there is so much more going on to bring visitors to “the last frontier in this part of the Bay,” Brown said. One event coming up this fall that will draw thousands of visitors from Solano County is the Vallejo Waterfront Weekend. Held on October 4-5, this festival will celebrate the City of Vallejo, Historic Mare Island and Solano County. Brown said entertainment will include a car show, cook-offs, art walks, children’s activities, boat regatta and live music. Transportation will be provided so people can park and easily get to all the attractions. Vallejo Waterfront Weekend will showcase why we choose to live, work, and play in this vibrant community. Net proceeds from this weekend will be dedicated to the rehabilitation of the Mira Community Cultural Center. Local groups and businesses partner with an organization called Rebuilding Together Solano County to turn this historic neighborhood landmark into the jewel that will welcome visitors. Fright Fest is a big draw to Six Flags during the month of October and the park has a Holiday in the Park promotion. Downtown hosts the Mad Hatter Holiday Parade and Festival, which is a big draw for the city.
The Whaleboat Regatta is a main event during Waterfront Weekend.
“Most visitors come from as far as L.A. to the south and Portland to the north,” Brown said. That’s quite the span of real estate to bring travelers. But despite the great events, wonderful location and weather, and the positive upswing in the city, there’s still more work to do. “We’d love to have more critical mass to draw guests for longer than one-night stays. We are trying to position Vallejo as a destination so close to the ferry. And because Vallejo is more affordable than San Francisco and Napa, we want people to realize they can save money and be close to wine country,” he said. Brown said another main project at the CVB is to brand Vallejo and establish a reason to attract new business and residents. “The Vallejo brand is another piece to the puzzle that will help bring the prosperity and economic development that we all want so badly,” Brown said.
This summer, the Waterfront Weekend Committee gathered at the Vallejo Yacht Club to plan this exciting Vallejo event. Fall 2 0 1 4 | 17
