Owner, Wags Sign Co. (Omaha, NE)

I’m a one-man signshop, so having a work-life balance is crucial for me. I enjoy playing ping pong daily to clear out my head. When the work day ends, I look forward to going on walks with my wife and our little German Shepherd, Ruby. On the weekends, I like going to different tracksides throughout the city to document trains, and love fishing trips with my family in Wahoo, NE. Looking back on it all, I’ve learned with my very limited free time that it’s vital to make time for yourself and enjoy life outside of work.
