Hello All!
I have been here on the forums for quite a few months, quietly looking around, reading the topics and helping out where ever I can. So far I really enjoy the site, aside from the occasional drama, but I try and stay out of those topics.
So about myself. Names Jay Huber, residing in the great state of Okleehoma. I still dig on the accent a little, being that I've only been here 2 years. I'm originally from Bristol, Pennsylvania. I owned a shop for about 6 years called Crusinart.com (not to be confused with the food processors) where my main focus was vehicle graphics and automotive upgrades. I also worked for Compass Sign Company for a number of years starting as an installer digging holes, to a graphic designer, to a Project Manager. My heart has been in the sign business a long time, literally half of my life, from the time when I thought "weeding" was something I could get in trouble for. Since then I've had some work go big, from Super Steet magazine, Honda Tuning, and even a mention in Wraps, very exciting stuff for me!
Back to my back story, a few years ago I got a wild hair to move to California and get a job with a big name in the industry. I sent out 50 resumes and wound up working at the one on the top of my list. Only thing was, the job was in Tulsa, not California... Hey, I made it half way right.
For the next year I had a dream job helping people learn and get excited about the wrap business. I try to avoid the word "teaching" when it comes to wrapping because I believe that the techniques are still evolving. Every time I turn around there is a new tool to try, different technology input into vinyl or something. So we have to change with the times as they come.
I am still with Fellers, working in Product Development. For the respect of the site and the paying Merchant Members, I do not mention where I work that often, I do not hop on every post and say "Fellers has that!" or anything else of the sort. I also stay out of conversations that are anti certification and will never say anything that could possibly get me fired. I am way too laid back to for that mess.
I hope to be on here and help where I can, and keep in touch with the sign world!
Respectfully,
Jay Huber
