experienced needs work in K.C.

Howdy all! I've been doing this sign thing for twenty years now. Started farting around my grandpa's shop playing with mercury BB's on the asbestos bending table when I was five. Dad told me not to do it, but I wound up a sign guy anyway. At least dad made sure I spent due time fabricating plastic - metals dep't - paint dep't, before I hit the trucks. Another ten years doing service and install, and then running the little operation for another seven years.

Those of you in K.C. shoud know who I am, or have heard some rumour or gossip about the falling out between dad and I. I'd like to practice what I've preached and "not" open another Sign&Light company, but it's what I know best, and it's what I love to do.

I've run lighting service crews, developed profitable sign and lighting maintenance contracts for 45 location customers, run finance and operations, done all the reports, scheduling invoicing, applied for all the permits and various other less glorious aspects of COO and CFO of a small shop.

I managed lighting service including systems control, underground locating and repair, engineered restorations of junk signs and destroyed foundations, re-wired entire outdoor lighting systems for restaurants and shopping centers, as well as designed and installed the operating systems. I did the design, code research, pricing, engineering, proposal writing, and sales as well. From cabinets and channel letters to pole and monument signs to flagpoles and outdoor lighting operations, and worn every hat as needed to re-image entire shopping centers from request for concept to done-deal.

Now that I'm done fluffing myself up, I just want to be a part of something that wants to go somewhere. Oh...and my unemployments about to run out, so I kinda need a job too. I'm halfway a start-up of my own thing, but if an opportunity to join an already viable operation hungry for more came along, I;d be seriously interested.

So please do feel free to chime in, or hell just call me up at 206-8129 in Kansas.

Best Regards
