I began my career in the sign industry in 1987 as an apprentice/assistant at LA Signs and Graphics, under the tutelage of John Studden. I lived in Venice, California, at the time and was in search of a new job opportunity. John’s shop was a classic sign shop—filled with panel projects and exceptional glass projects created by John, many on easels that lined walls of the shop.

I remember the scent of paints, glues and wood. I was intrigued by this new world, and I observed and learned as much as I could—basic layout skills, working with various sign materials and, most importantly, John’s techniques in sign production.
