Sign Confidential

This Signman Lives the Island Life with Steve the Shop Dog by His Side

Geoff Orlick
Owner, Quality Designs Ltd. (Campbell River, BC, Canada)

After the stresses of day-to-day signman chaos, I like to unwind at home in the hottub with my beautiful bride (and business partner) sipping happy-hour cocktails. We enjoy supporting our local Junior B hockey club in winter and Cubs U18 baseball during spring and summer. We sponsor every minor hockey team and the junior club with helmet logos and number decals, banners, etc. I keep busy by crafting driftwood sculptures, doing 2,000-piece puzzles and watching the Disney channels. Even a few hours of any hobby helps the stress level. Blessed with island life — whale watching, fishing and fires on the beach with ocean views for miles or cruising in our hotrod ’84 modified Corvette or ’55 Ford panel van — spoiled! Steve the Shop Dog by our side everywhere we go. We work very hard and are on the tail end of our careers with retirement in sight … hopefully, just a few more years to go.
