First impressions are critical, and nowhere is that more true than in business. The exterior and interior of your building and the signs that adorn both play a big role in how potential customers perceive your business. If your signs are outdated, worn or just plain unappealing, it’s going to reflect poorly on your operation. On the other hand, if your signs are well-designed and installed by professionals, it will provide your business with an air of credibility and competence.

Staff Spotlight
How did you enter the sign industry?
Just a series of always being able to get a job in this niche industry. So wherever I would travel, it was pretty easy. A sign company will usually take an experienced person, if you can bring some experience to the table.Â
I went from working in the sign industry basically my whole life, learning how to do all the facets of the industry to being put into a position to have to become a sign broker on my own. And that transitioned into the ownership side of everything.
What’s your approach when consulting with a client who’s interested in working with US Signcrafters?
It’s kind of different for every client out there. We try to put ourselves in their shoes on what their wants and needs are, even down to what they can afford now and what they can’t afford now. Really just provide them with what we believe they need.
Why do you enjoy working in the sign industry?
You meet a lot of interesting people along the way — other business owners, people who are in a position to make decisions for companies. At the end of the day, you see the fulfillment side of things because these places need to be branded, they need signage. With many companies, we’re helping them get their whole design out the door, and once you see that implemented into everyday, driving-around type of situations, it gets pretty neat to see your work out there a lot of the places you go.
What’s your favorite type of sign and why?
My favorite type would be anything that’s never been done before. You have to think about how it’s going to built, transported, installed, serviced, its longevity. And just to do something different all the time is always fun because it hasn’t been done and you have to figure it out.
What’s a sign from your childhood that’s seared into your memory?
I don’t think there’s anything sign-related but I think as a young kid, taking wood shop class in middle school and metals class, and then having art classes, I think it came to a point with a profession that combined all of those factors.
It’s a niche industry to where nobody is going to school to learn how to do sign work, but there are kids who go for construction or construction management. So it was neat to land into a profession that combined all those things, from the building of the birdhouse to building with metal — and artwork as more of your own design.
Which project would you consider a career highlight?
I guess just ending up where I ended up. Being a kid who just grew up in the industry wanting to learn everything.
There are a couple businesses I had wanted to get into the ownership side of but signs was never really one of them; there’s just too much — there still is too much. Some days it’s just not that fun.
But to just work here in town, with only two companies, I stuck my roots to one, and then becoming a sign broker really took off. After seven years of that, to end up at US Signcrafters, which is one of the larger companies in northern Indiana and the region, to be sitting here with a stake in ownership is pretty cool.
