David Geise

Dynamic small business owner with extensive experience in customer relations and operations at The Sign Shop. Expert in hand-carved gold leaf signage, I excel in relationship building and effective communication, ensuring client satisfaction and high-quality results. Passionate about my craft, I am dedicated to delivering exceptional service and innovative solutions.

I am passionate about my community. I was born and raised in South Williamsport, my business is located in the community, my four children all graduated from the South Williamsport Area School District.

I am currently on the South Williamsport Borough Council and serving as board president. I enjoy this elected position. We have been able to accomplish a lot of goals in the last several years. One of my favorite accomplishments, with the help of our council, borough manager and many others, is the new South Williamsport Borough Building located in our community park. This venue will be available to host community and private events.

I have coached girls softball and boys baseball for South Little League. I enjoyed being on the Little League Board and part of the committee that was instrumental in the complete overall of Lyons Field.

The Mountie Band Parent organization was another committee that I really enjoyed. We were able to secure a trailer for the musical equipment and apply graphics to it. In my opinion, it is the nicest one in Lycoming County.

My latest undertaking is the Robert Porter Allen Natural Area. I serve on this committee with many fine people from Lycoming County. This is located in the Sylvan Dell area of South Williamsport. We are creating a "nature area" that will eventually include many hiking trails and other activities for our residents.

I also enjoy giving back to my community by donating signs for school activities, sporting events, and fundraisers. My wife is extremely involved in Victorian Christmas. I enjoy helping her prepare for their tour of homes by creating and installing their signs and Victorian People that are displayed at the homes that are on tour.

Thank you for the opportunity to receive this honor. I am truly thankful to be recognized as someone who gives back to the community.
