Ozzie founded the company back in 1972 and is still an active force in sales and leadership within the organization. He has a thorough understanding of all aspects of the sign industry with vast experience in scheduling, constructing and installing all types of interior and exterior signs.

He attended Marist College majoring in English Literature and Journalism and served four years in the United States Naval Security Group. He has extensive experience in planning and zoning issues and serves on the the Town of Ulster Planning Board as well as a host of other business and community organizations. He was recently inducted into SUNY New Paltz School of Business Hall of Fame as the recipient of the 2007 Dean’s Award of Excellence.

Ozzie has played significant role in planning the long-term success of the organization, ushering in new technology and services at key points in the company’s history. “While the scope of our business has changed and grown since we first began, one thing that remains is our dedication to customer service and delivering what we promise. Those principles are at the heart of our business plan and always will be.”

“Back in high school, I worked summers at the shop. One of our biggest projects back then was the site signage for the 25th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival. Working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week to complete the project in time “built character” as my dad is fond of saying. Our work ethic remains the same today, working hard to make each project a success.”

A graduate of the School of Visual Arts at Syracuse University with a degree in Communication Design, Paul worked for two firms in Connecticut that specialized in packaging design, corporate identity and print communication. “With packaging and corporate identity, marketing to the end user is what it’s all about. I felt that I could bring that learning back to our family business and really make a difference in the sign industry. Signs have always been one of the most cost-effective means of marketing a business.”

Paul joined the company once more in 2001 moving back to Hudson Valley. “It’s great to be able to work and live in an area as beautiful as upstate New York. Our production and design staff is constantly pushing the company forward with new technology, creative thinking and accurate execution - it’s great to be part of this team.”

Joe entered the family business after graduating from George Washington University where he majored in Marketing and Business Administration. “After graduating I considered a variety of options and realized the opportunities that Timely Signs presented were what most of my classmates and I were looking for out of school.”

Joe began working in the graphics and corporate awards division to get a feel for the business. “My father thought it was important to work at all levels of our organization so that I could understand how we work from the production floor up. It enabled me to answer questions from our clients and our employees because I’ve worked in a production role in each department.”

In 2002 he moved into a sales and customer service role. “Our business is all about customer service and that is reflected in our mission statement. We value the relationships we build with our clients and their success is in turn, our success.”
