Paint it green3/1/2024 I decided I wanted to start my own business and I wanted to do it different. I worked for Adams Painting and Guy Shinn Painting before starting Paint It green in 2008. It was our 3rd visit and the final straw towards committing to leaving California and moving to Idaho. In 2005 my family and I came to Emmett Idaho to visit my sister's family. I feel this was good experience for running my own business and taught me the value of working with people. We had to do a job well, do it around 100's of kids at a time and get it done on time. This was difficult at times but I learned about diplomacy. I found a way to schedule everything, get it done and keep everyone satisfied. No one wanted to hear that another job was a priority. No matter how much work we had to do I still had to think of the individual person or school that had requested a job to be done. We had a 12-man crew and as you can imagine we were pretty busy. We did all of the repair requests that were paint related and eliminated graffiti at each site. It was my job to oversee the crew while doing complete repaints of each site. Our paint shop was responsible for all of the interiors and exterior of each building. There were 67 schools in the district along with 7 other administrative sites. There I became the Lead Painter, and held that position until my resignation to move to Idaho. I moved because thee was more room for advancement in San Bernardino. I worked there for 8 years before moving to the San Bernardino School District. In order to do your job and do it well you had to learn to be flexible and find ways to be able to do your job while working around kids and teachers. Here I furthered what I call my people education. This district was smaller with 27 schools. After 3 years there I began working at the Rialto Unified School district. In 1985 I began working for the University of Redlands, this began my experience of really working with the public and learning to interact with different kinds of people. During the next 7 years I worked for various paint contractors doing residential and commercial painting. At 8 years old, I moved to Southern California and I lived there for nearly 40 years. I was born in Springfield Missouri, in 1957. Hi, I'm Tim Coulter, the founder of Paint It Green.
