I grew up on the east coast. My dad worked for the Immigration Service so we moved to Montreal then on to Rome Italy. When I finished high school I spent a few months learning Italian south of Florence but I wanted to get back to the states so I went back to NYC. I then moved to Oregon in 1979. I have been serving the Salem area and beyond since 1984 when I started my own company. Before that I worked with a company called New Life Auto Trim doing the same type of work for new and used car lots. Back then vinyl tops, sunroofs and pin striping were in high demand. I would go as far as Bend once a week and as far north as the Portland area. I started doing signs when I bought a sign plotter and the software to run it in 1997. That was a great addition to my business as it gave me the ability to broaden my customer base and offer other services to my existing clients. Since then I have been trying to keep up with the changing market demands.
