Featured Changemaker: Dan Carranza, Estimating Manager for YESCO Los Angeles
Dan writes, “I have been with YESCO for going on 27 years, I am married with 4 grown children (3 sons, 1 daughter) and 7 grandchildren and I live in Redlands, Ca. I started in the sign industry without any knowledge of signs at all, just a young guy needing a job, and I have been able to raise my children from all it has to offer.
“We are a family that has been dependent on the sign industry and have been able to live a good life through the rewards of it. My kids…know how proud I am for being a part of a great industry. I have family and very good friends that are reliant on the sign industry to stay prosperous and I am more than willing to do my part to make that happen. One thing I’ve learned from being employed by YESCO is that working hard and taking the right path through the process is more beneficial in the long run. That is why I am a firm believer and proud Member of the California Sign Association/CSA.
That is why I am a firm believer and proud Member of the California sign association.
The benefits of CSA sometimes go unnoticed and never addressed but the process proposed and implemented here in California can be seen throughout the industry Nationwide. I am very thankful for all that CSA does and will continue to do my part by Contributing both financially and physically to all things CSA.
A heart felt thank you to CSA from the Carranza Family!
