As someone who\u2019s known him for more than 40 years, sometimes just peripherally but always fondly, I can state for the record that he\u2019s one of those people you characterize as peppy without it sounding like an ambidextrous insult. His energy and upbeat attitude have allowed him\u2014through a dodgeball career in corporate communications, print and broadcast journalism as well as advertising\u2014to retain friendships and alliances, which in turn have seen him attract clients whom he used to work for and even resigned from. In short, despite his extra-credit (and excellent) abilities as a photographer and painter, he\u2019s apparently never learned how to burn a bridge behind him.<\/p>\n<p>Childs, who\u2019s 65, is a\u00a0meticulous\u00a0editor, gifted graphic designer and computer whiz. The combo helps the twosome take their clients\u2019 manuscripts from concept to publication and distribution. Childs has written in the academic arenas of social sciences, biotech, ag, medical research and the humanities. Hers are also the company\u2019s accounting eyes, though she says that March is the natural-born marketer. Left to her own devices, she says with a laugh, \u201cI would probably give away the business.\u201d She means she\u2019d be a soft touch when clients ask for extras or discounts, whereas \u201cJeff always knows exactly how much time a project will take and what it will cost. But he\u2019s always really nice about it.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>EditPros is based, and its principals live, in the university town of Davis, just 15 minutes and cultural light years from California\u2019s\u00a0capital, another university town. But Sacramento State isn\u2019t the largest employer in its sphere of influence, as Davis is. Across the Yolo Causeway bridge from Sacramento, Davis can sometimes\u00a0give off the feeling you\u2019ve dropped into Brigadoon for the afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0Though there are always exceptions, its city council has continually seemed to populate itself with locals who are determinedly developer-unfriendly and socially woke. The town made national news when it declared itself a nuclear-free city in 1984, though no one, to my knowledge, had been seriously contemplating the construction of Three Mile Island 2.0 in its environs. The council decision concluded (the upper case is standard on these types of documents), \u201cNOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT no nuclear weapons shall be produced, transported, stored, processed, disposed of, or used within the City of Davis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alrighty, then.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Adsense Horizontal&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; max_width=&#8221;90%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_module=&#8221;1433&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- gs_horizontal_new --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     style=&#8221;display:block&#8221;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     data-ad-client=&#8221;ca-pub-8489921453224987&#8243;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     data-ad-slot=&#8221;5069548950&#8243;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     data-ad-format=&#8221;auto&#8221;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     data-full-width-responsive=&#8221;true&#8221;><\/ins><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/script>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>More recently, the University of California, Davis, internationally respected for its ag, art and medical schools, proclaimed that this winter, its history department would offer \u201casynchronous versus synchronous courses.\u201d \u201cAsynchronous means no schedule assigned to the learning activity. Synchronous means there is a schedule for the learning activities,\u201d the online catalogue helpfully explained. You can see why March and Childs\u2019s services are in constant demand.<\/p>\n<p>While often presumed to be domestic partners as well as business partners, March and Childs are married to other people and all four seem to get along swimmingly. In fact, Childs says that she and March\u2019s wife of 49 years, Marsha, used to quilt together when they had the time. Childs has been married for 33 years to Gary, who worked in the construction industry. She has a grown daughter; Jeff and Marsha March have two adult children and four grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>March\u2019s youth included some nomadic years, from the ages of eight to 13 years old, when his entrepreneurial dad hauled the family from town to town and state to state in pursuit of business\u00a0opportunities. March thinks the experience(s) helped to inform his writing\u2014and may also explain why he\u2019s lived in Davis for decades. I remind him that when he was first hired by UC Davis\u2019s communications department, after a bumpy few years in magazines and\u00a0radio\u00a0advertising, he was so grateful for what seemed to be an impenetrably stable job that he told me, \u201cI\u2019m going to nail my feet to the ground here.\u201d But while he figuratively affixed himself to the town, even working in the UC system had its peaks and dips in terms of funding and staffing. He went out on his own in 1994, inviting along Childs, whom he\u2019d worked with at UCD (\u201cHe hired me when the department I was working for started to shrink,\u201d she says).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t have six months or a year to bring this business up to speed,\u201d March says. \u201cWe had to start bringing in money from Day One.\u201d I ask if the partners did much outreach to attract business or to just let the world know they were available. \u201cWe did,\u201d he says, \u201dBut we stopped cold-calling 20 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Push Pins Map Horizontal&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eeeeee&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;15px|15px|15px|15px|true|true&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3793&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=918580&#038;u=1383997&#038;m=68044&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=goldman\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.shareasale.com\/image\/68044\/B-04-728-by-90.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Push Pin Travel Maps\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.shareasale.com\/image\/68044\/B-04-728-by-90.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Push Pin Travel Maps\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been very fortunate,\u201d Childs says. \u201cAnd the work\u2019s so enjoyable that neither of us talks about retiring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without being asked about their co-working arrangement, March volunteers, \u201cMarti and I have not had a substantial argument in all the time we\u2019ve worked together.\u201d Significantly, this includes March\u2019s working with Childs in her home during the first five years of EditPros.<\/p>\n<p>You can peruse the company\u2019s superhero origins and output, which includes six books to date, at <a href=\"https:\/\/editpros.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">editpros.com<\/a>.
