In 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! I now specialize in dimensional signage of all kinds, featuring highly customized thematic park and retail display signs. We have produced thousands of these signs for satisfied clients across the United States,  Europe, Central and South America.

In 1990, Sign Business magazine published a feature story on my sign company, The InterSign Group. Two months later, I was hired by the same magazine to contribute monthly "how-to" articles covering all aspects of commercial sign production.  

In 1991, I was hired by National Business Media to teach two seminars, Sign Pricing, and Negotiation Tactics, as well as the original "Hands-On" Sandblasted Sign Workshop. 

Shortly thereafter, I had the privilege of teaching my seminars to the United States Sign Council, the International Sign Association, Advantage Sign Supply, The Signery corporation, Products Sign Supply Co., Street Art Supply, Signs Plus U.S.A., and the Sign Biz corporation.  In addition to holding my own Letterhead event in 1991, I have taught classes at several other Letterhead meetings and sign supply distributor "open houses" across the country. 

In 1992, I began my own multimedia publishing company, to serve the needs of my seminar students. As of today I offer three audio CD’s, two software template CD’s, seven video programs, three "e" books, and five manuals on sign company marketing.  I  also appeared in the Lord Adhesive Corporation's corporate sales video as an industry spokesman. 

In 1997, I began my monthly newsletter, Prosperity Pricing and Mega Marketing for the Success Motivated Sign Company to help my fellow sign professionals in their marketing efforts.  I also joined the media team at my church, Sagemont Baptist, where I operate various video production machines.

In the year 2000, I joined the National Speakers Association.

In August, 2001, I was hired  as a monthly columnist for Sign Builder Illustrated magazine, where I still contribute two articles per month . 

In November 2004,  I  was honored by the United States Sign Council as the First Place National Award Winner in the carved sign/ gold leaf category.

In November 2006, I released my latest book, 45 Tips to Double Your Profits and Triple Your Pleasure in Your Sign and Graphics Business. This information was also used to create a new seminar that was introduced at the 2006 U.S.S.C. Sign World Show, in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

I have been married to my best friend and business partner, Sherry Lynn Pursley,  for 31 years, and we were blessed with two remarkable, successful children....Tiffany and Grant.. Tiffany is a Paralegal for a  law firm in downtown Houston. Grant is graduate of the University of Houston and is a design engineer employed by a local space contractor.

I enjoy my daily walks in the park with my my dog Clyde. George, the dog on the right, is no longer with us. I enjoy writing, producing and editing videos, traveling and snorkeling through the beautiful islands of Hawaii, the Caribbean, Honduras, as well as hiking, treasure hunting and exploring the beautiful states of Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Colorado, Alaska, and overseas at Cannes, France and Naples, Rome, Pompei, Pisa, Sorrento Italy and Barcelona, Spain.
