Born in 1953, my first exposure to sign making was in the mid 60’s when my father started a sign business in western Washington State. Although I’ve always been interested in art & design, I did not pursue sign design and manufacturing until ’91. With nearly 25 years in the construction industry I was looking forward to a change. During a heartfelt conversation with my wife, Carmen, about where our lives would be had I followed my passion; she looked at me and made it perfectly clear that I had her full support. While the construction industry supported us, I spent those early years studying, practicing and developing skills in art, design and production. For me, this has truly been a labor of love. In addition, I chair the design committee for the Puyallup Main Street Association and serve on the board of directors.

Born in 1962, Carmen is the third of three children. Before marrying in 1990 she was an office manager for a chiropractor, which by the way is where we met. Since then she gave life to Taylor & Justin, our boys. When our second child was born, we decided Carmen should stay home for them. That did not keep her down. She also served as a Treasurer and a Secretary for the Midnight Riders Street Rod Assn., served 1 year as Secretary and 3 years as President of our boys preschool, served 1 year as Treasurer and 2 years as PTA President for the elementary school our boys go to, is a Golden Acorn recipient, and currently is a Coordinator of Faith Formation for Children at Holy Disciples Catholic Church. She continues to volunteer in three classrooms each week Oh yeah, she also manages the books for the sign business and helps keep me on schedule.

We have come a long way. We used a slowdown in construction as a springboard for the sign business to go full time. This is what we wanted and have been planning since June 1992 when we knew we had something more than a hobby and got our business license.
