I have worked at Plastic Arts Sign Company for nearly 15 years, however spent most of my summers as a kid working around the shop to earn extra money. My grandparents started the company in 1969. After their passing I worked for nearly ten years for their sons (my uncles). I started doing sign fabrication and eventually transitioned into installation and service before also taking on some sales and design duties. The brothers sold the business approximately 3 years ago and the new owner promoted me to General Manager. I get bored easily and being in the custom sign business has given me a career path that I can enjoy because no two jobs are alike. Having been around the sign business for most of my life, I have been able to experience many shifts in fabrication methods and technology advancements…from neon to LEDs and electronic signs that use incandescent bulbs to modern high resolution video displays.
