Sign of the times to follow the light Entrepreneur's diminishing light-bulb-changing business prompts change of plan: converting customers to energy-saving LED technology
Like all good entrepreneurs, Chris Jordon is a survivor.
When circumstance forced him to reinvent his sign manufacturing career of a quarter century, Jordon turned his industry upside down and sideways to find a new niche.
