Jeff's Story
Check out my Portfolio at BRUSHFIRESIGNS.com to see what I've been up to since High School.
A few months after grad in 1982 I went to Tech Voc and took the 2 year Advertising Arts program. Among other things I learned the art of Hand Lettering (Signwriting/ Caligraphy & Signpainting) using a lettering quill or steelbrushes. By 1985 I was pretty good at this, so I went to work for 2 other Sign Companies. During this time I also subcontracted picking up my own clients along the way.
In 1992 I opened my own Signshop, called Brushfire Signs.

With the popularity of the Internet I changed the name to Bru...Expand for more

to direct traffic to my Website. Here people can see my portfolio of work, which includes many different types of signage including Cottage Signs. I like making these the most because I can really be creative with them.
I have been a Sign Designer / Artist for 24 years and I LOVE IT! For 20 years of my career I have been self employed and I wouldn't want it any other way! (I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I do for a living.)
I still see many friends from my days at Garden City Collegiate, and have also dealt with many over the years professionally. Some of my friend's kids now go to Garden City. Weird!
