| My
name is Mark Roberts. I
began my graphics career during my senior year
in college in 1976, working evenings in the
print shop for the Exxon Corporation. In June, I
took my small school math and biology
degrees to Frito Lay, where I accepted a sales and marketing position.
I learned valuable
customer relations and satisfaction techniques
from the late Roylen Edwards which I practice
to this day.
In 1979, I met an
"old-time" hand lettering artist in
Baytown, Texas. His name was Grant
"Tiger" Miller - a feisty
"old-school tough guy" - on the
outside. After numerous visits with Tiger and
hanging around his sign shop every chance I
could get, I finally decided take the
"full time" plunge into the sign
business.
The early years were a struggle, due
to the fact that all signs were hand lettered,
and I was still an "apprentice" sign
artist. Armed with perseverance and having a
father who taught me to do my best in
everything I do and never settle for "second
best", a mother who
encouraged me daily, and my fantastic
wife who always worked side-by-side with
me, I made a commitment to succeed in
this business!

1982, I was introduced to dimensional
sandblasted signs at a "Letterhead"
meet, hosted by Mike Jackson, in Moore,
Oklahoma. In addition to meeting Mike Jackson, I
also met Butch "Superfrog"
Anton, Noel Weber, Mike Stevens, Bob Mitchell,
Raymond Chapman and Stephen Parish - all great
influences on my career. It was at this
fortuitous event where I discovered my true
calling in this business- Dimensional
Signs!

In
1990, Sign Business magazine published a
feature story on my sign company. Two months later, I was hired by the same
magazine to contribute monthly
"how-to" articles covering all aspects
of commercial sign production. I am now a
monthly columnist for Sign Builder
Illustrated magazine, where I contribute two
columns every month.
Shortly
thereafter, I became a sign industry seminar
instructor, teaching my
seminars to sign professionals all across the
country.
