I began my career in the family sign business as a teenager, immersing myself in the various facets of the industry at Matthews Signs. Over the years, I gained invaluable experience in nearly every role, from hands-on production and design to customer service and sales. This comprehensive exposure allowed me to understand not only the technical aspects of sign making but also the importance of customer relations and effective communication within the business. Each position I held contributed to my skills and knowledge, enabling me to appreciate the intricacies involved in running a successful sign company.

In 2024, with this foundational background firmly in place, I proudly joined the management team and began collaborating closely with our dedicated staff to implement innovative strategies aimed at propelling the company's expansion. We focused on exploring new markets, enhancing our product offerings, and utilizing modern technology to improve efficiency and quality. Our team worked diligently to create a cohesive environment where creativity thrived, and everyone felt empowered to contribute ideas that could drive our business forward.

As a third-generation sign business owner, I carry a deep sense of responsibility to uphold the family legacy established by my father, Stephen, and my uncle, Matthew. Their hard work and dedication laid the foundation for Matthews Signs, and I am committed to honoring that legacy by ensuring that our company not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our customers. I often reflect on the lessons they taught me about integrity, craftsmanship, and the importance of building lasting relationships with clients.

Currently, I am managing the company alongside my aunt Tracy. Together, we strive to maintain the high standards that our customers have come to expect from us over the years. In addition to my management duties, I am also attending business college, where I am acquiring new skills and knowledge that I can apply directly to our business practices. This education is enhancing my understanding of modern business strategies, marketing techniques, and financial management, which are crucial for elevating our business to the next level.

Through this combination of practical experience and academic learning, I am confident that we will continue to adapt and thrive in an ever-evolving industry. Our ultimate goal is to not only preserve the legacy of Matthews Signs but to also innovate and expand our reach, ensuring that we remain a leader in the sign business for generations to come.

When I'm off the clock, you can find me scaling actual rocks (because climbing up indoor walls doesn't give you view) in spots like Yosemite and Bishop.
