Like many in the sign, graphics and wrap industries - I ended up here on accident. Fast forward 16+ years and I am still here. I started out ( you guessed it!) weeding vinyl (IYKYK) and then as the years passed I would go on to do design, production, lead graphics teams, wrap vehicles, sales, lead a sales team, research and development, marketing, and I am currently the Visionary and Co-Founder of Bismarck Sign Co.
I grew up on a ranch in the middle of the North Dakota prairie. The closest big box store was an hour away. When things broke, you just figured out how to make it work. This taught me to be incredibly resourceful. You didn't quit because you didn't have the right part. You figured out how to make it work.
When I was 12 my mother was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. I was her caretaker until she passed away when I was 28. There isn't enough page space to list the lessons this taught me. My top two: I learned that it wasn't about the challenges in life, but how you overcome them. And that no amount of money would ever buy back loved ones lost.
Something was missing in my life.
After reflecting and journaling to my
future-self, I determined the following:
I love helping others. I love business. I know and enjoy the Sign Industry.
I can combine all three and lead others in this awesome industry! LFG!
