About Rick Fargo

Rick began his career in the Graphic Arts in 1972 as a printing press operator. Since then, he has held several positions within the industry. In 1984, he opened Matrix PrePress, a commercial pre-press provider, in Santa Clara, CA. After the sale of Matrix in 1997, he worked as a print broker for Printing By Design where he was named Sales Person of the Year in 1998. During this time, he also worked extensively with a former Matrix employee who had opened a sign shop. He gained knowledge and experience in sign fabrication and production and completed jobs for companies such as Cisco Systems and Electronic Arts.

Rick took a short break from the industry after moving to Atascadero four years ago, but he decided to return to it in May of 2004 when he took a job at a local sign company. After working there for two-and-a-half years, he again decided to open his own shop, All Signs and Graphics.

While at Cal Poly, she received a scholarship award from Bookbuilders West for the design and production of a one-of-a-kind edition of The Secret Garden. Upon graduation, she accepted a position with a top graphic design and advertising firm in San Luis Obispo where she spent three years as a graphic designer and production manager.

After leaving the design firm, Annie decided to pursue her passion for the culinary arts and spent six months cooking at The Black Cat Bistro in Cambria. Although she greatly enjoyed cooking professionally, she decided that her dad's proposal to open a sign shop together was an offer she couldn't refuse.
