Have you ever seen a more enthusiastic sign holder?

I sure haven't. I've been driving by this guy for years, and when I do, I find his enthusiasm to be contagious.

What I really wondered was, what is he listening to?

I had to stop and talk to him.

He was hesitant to share too much about his music, but I did manage to get him to mention a few bands.

I also spoke with his boss, Matt Shoup of M&E Painting. He related to me some great stories about the man, whose name is Tim Farnsworth, a native of Colorado.

At 2:16 in the video, he told me about how Tim inspires people, including a woman who always wanted to drive by him when she was taking her mom to chemotherapy.

As for if the marketing campaign has been successful, Matt said that their brand has become synonymous with Tim. People want to talk to him about the sign guy more than they want to talk about painting.

What do you think? Have you seen, or been inspired, by Tim?
