Zern Vess has been an integral part of Signarama, leading with integrity and a dedication to excellence. The achievement he is most proud of is marrying the love of his life, Dani, in 1996. Zern’s commitment to his community is evident through his roles as a Nixa Chamber of Commerce Board Member, Nixa City Councilman for Ward 1, Central Bank Community Advisory Board Member, and as an active member of Abou Ben Adhem (Shriner) and the Christian County Shrine Club. Outside of work, Zern is a passionate motorsports enthusiast and a Legends driver in the Missouri Legends Series. A true believer in the value of trust and accountability, Zern lives by the motto, "You're only as good as your word." If given the opportunity to meet a business leader from any era, he would choose Henry Ford, whose innovation and vision continue to inspire.

Born and raised in Springfield, Missouri, I am proud to call this area my lifelong home. I met Zern, the love of my life while dancing, and he has kept me on my toes ever since. Together, we’ve built a beautiful life, and my two amazing kiddos are the achievements I am most proud of. As part of the Signarama team, my favorite part of the job is streamlining processes and finding ways to make our work more efficient. I have a passion for continuous improvement and embracing new tools, like AI, to enhance our business. If I could have any superpower, it would be the ability to master Graphic Design—a skill I greatly admire. When it comes to music, my go-to productivity anthem is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole, which always lifts my spirits and inspires creativity. I am active in my church, providing my services in media and communications, and I proudly serve as a Chamber Ambassador for the Ozark Chamber of Commerce. My best piece of work advice? Never stop learning. The journey of growth and discovery is what makes every day exciting.

Hi, I’m Lola. As Chief Morale Officer, I take my role very seriously. I boost spirits, supervise production, and ensure morale levels stay appropriately high throughout the day. I appreciate thoughtful introductions and believe friendships are best built slowly. — let’s ease into this. I’m a lady, after all. When I’m off duty, you’ll find me enjoying long walks in the woods, feeling the sun on my fur, or reigning as Queen of Hide-and-Seek (undefeated, by the way). Chicken jerky is my love language, and warm ground on a cool day is my happy place. And while I carry myself with dignity, I do occasionally experience a burst of enthusiasm — some might call them “zoomies.” Even Chief Morale Officers need cardio. If you’re kind, calm, and respectful, we’ll get along just fine. Morale is always higher when there are good humans around.

Zernie loves keeping both his mind and his hands busy. He enjoys a good challenge, figuring out how things work, and there isn’t much he won’t tackle when he puts his mind to it. He’s currently learning the Signarama business from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience throughout the shop with the goal of eventually growing into a Project Manager role. Outside of work, Zernie enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, Maddi, being outdoors, and hunting deer and ducks. He also loves working on his 2011 Ford Super Duty, which he enjoys modifying and showing. If you asked Zernie to describe a perfect day, it would probably involve good company, the outdoors, and a truck show!
