Use to work there back in 2012 briefly before going back into business myself. Very professional shop. TOP SHELF! Don was/is a MASTER sign maker. Jack of ALL TRADES. Artist too. The man does it all. Meticulous, patient, serious and dedicated. He was getting up there in age. He made his $ and did very well for himself. Fleet work. Had some pretty big accounts. Lots of tour buses. Opryland, Gray Line etc.
Privileged to work for him. He was a taskmaster and perfectionist. Very tough old-school sign guy. Hard-nosed. I left on good terms. Just needed to get my hands back until I settled down in Nashville. He taught me A LOT of new stuff. New FOR ME that is...but old-school stuff that it took him many years to master. Beautiful shop too. Even did painting and body work to repair RV s in the back garage, and fixed/replaced all the damaged graphics on them. Whole shabang!
He did IT ALL! Even airbrushed. Wrapped trash trucks, tinted trolleys, wrapped huge generators for the Grand Ole Opry....we did EVERYTHING! Really nice guy (once you really got to know him). Gruff exterior. No nonsense. But a decent God fearing man. Talented. Hard worker. Old-school. Honored to have worked for him, albeit briefly read more
