I was always an excellent art student in high school. When ever someone needed a drawing it seems they always found their way to me. After high school I took an interest in my grandfather's sign lettering business. Thanks Gramp! It was through him that I started to learn about different paints, lettering styles, and ultimately goldleaf. During this time I followed into my dad's footsteps, The Fire Department. Thanks Dad. One day I was approached by one of the guys and asked if I could paint new numbers on the bottom of his shield. I did and the question arose could I paint a whole shield? Before I knew it I was combining two of the things I love; my painting skills and the Fire Department. My little business started to travel fast by word of mouth, with no advertising. Who knew with a little encouragement I would be at this point with my own web site. Thank You to everyone who got me to this point today.
