For more than two decades, I have found myself working in the sign industry.

Back in Roswell, New Mexico, as a teenager, I had the privilege of working at Corbell Signs as a squeegee puller and a general gopher. It wasn't glamorous but it got the 1 Shot in my blood and the desire in my heart. I realized I could use my artistic talents and actually get paid at the same time! This venture predated computers, so I was actually able to learn the arts of Hand Lettering (using a brush to paint signs) and, later on, even the skills of gold and silver leaf.

As computers became more dominant in the industry, I developed a desire to learn as much about them as possible. I'll admit, I am almost exclusively self taught on the sometimes frustrating contraptions but it didn't take too long for me to develop a reputation as being "cutting edge" in my ability to use design software.

Currently, I am still working in the sign industry, primarily as a broker for larger jobs. I still personally make "custom" signs as the opportunity arises. I love the thrill of helping a piece of art emerge from an assemblage of wood or PVC through the use of sandblasting, routing or even hand carving. As I am getting older I am finding it more important than ever to be true to my original artistic inclinations. I still have the software and the 36" vinyl plotter in case a customer needs a quick sign or banner but nothing beats the WOW factor of seeing a persons face light up when they see their finished, dimensional sign for the first time.

In my career, I have often heard that a sign is your first impression and a silent salesman. I have learned that those sayings could not be more honest or truthful. If you need a silent salesman that truly stands out from the average, I invite you to check out the customized styling's of Waltersdorff Signs.

Oh Yeah.... I make web sites too. LOL Neon Alien Web Graphics
