One of the most fun and challenging signs to produce is the routed dimensional signs, that Jonathan always thinks back to...the finished product speaks for itself.
He enjoys being a part of the final stage of sign production. "It's quite rewarding that we creatively problem solve and find solutions to bring a client's vision to life!" "Getting to build and then hold the finished product before it's sent off is a great feeling."

Bob Brainard
Outside Sales Rep Read BioBob Brainard
Outside Sales RepWe're super excited to welcome Bob Brainard to the FASTSIGNS Snellville team as our brand-new Outside Sales Person! Bob isn’t just any team member—he's a longtime customer who decided to join the crew and bring his mix of smarts and silliness with him. Initially hailing from New Jersey's "Springsteen Land" and a vetted Kean University grad (who double majored in Business Marketing & History), Bob’s also a proud "Southern by Choice" / seasoned Snellville local too. He may be on the shorter side, but don’t let that fool you—his jokes are tall and ready to make you giggle! When he’s not cracking up the team, Bob’s hanging out with his beloved boxer "Murphy", spending quality time with 1st wife Robin of 37 years plus their two adult kids, and counting down the days until he becomes a grandpa for the first time. Join us in giving Bob a big, warm welcome—you’re in for a fun ride with him on board!" -
