I scanned original B & W photographs (mostly from the late 1800's - the early 1900's), then digitally restored the image. Next I created an enlarged print that I mounted & framed for the client.

Frequent customers were bankers, medical offices and law firms but the majority of my clients were "word of mouth" recommendations from local residents.

Created award winning logos, letterheads, business cards and nationally recognized signage. My work has been published in almost a dozen issues of SIGNS OF THE TIMES magazine and included in two hard covered coffee table books that sold for $50.00 each.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES held a yearly sign competition that allowed sign shops from coast to coast to enter their very best work for the year. There were several categories of signs and I was fortunate to take 1st place in many of them.

I hired and trained employees.

I worked with city planning officers, architects, a variety of business owners. I was paid to conduct workshops on advanced glass techniques such as gold leaf & glue chipping (even was asked to go to Winnipeg, Canada for one of them).

So I've trained beginners and taught experienced craftsmen to further their trade & abilities.

I'd be happy to provide photos/magazines of some of my award winning work if you'd like. One year Walt Disney Studios sign shop competed and I was fortunate to finish first place ahead of them in that years contest!

First I completed a 4 year apprenticeship in the local carpenter's union, then went on to become a contractor/custom home builder. Again, I hired & trained employees. I worked with suppliers, bankers and directly with the homeowner.

I also traveled to Boise, ID and worked as a finish carpenter/contractor from 1976 - 1978.
