    “Watching my dad give back to the community has taught me how big of a heart he has. He has love for everyone and always puts himself last. I have seen him struggle himself, but still give back to the community. He has always taught me ‘what goes around comes around, if you do good in the world, good things will come for you.’”

    Getting to Know Our EVSC Alumni

    Where did you go to high school, and who was your favorite teacher?

    I went to Reitz High School. Mr. Fellnock was my favorite teacher- he owned a bunch of moped cars and loved talking about them.

    What activities were you involved in?

    I played both baseball and football.

    Devine Painting supports a lot of teams and programs in the city. Why does giving back mean so much to you?

    I always played sports and then coached and was president of a youth league. As a kid, I loved having a company’s name on my jersey. It showed someone supported us and that meant a lot as a young kid.

    I have and will always support our youth in this community. I love doing it and know how much it is truly needed.

    What is your favorite memory from high school?

    Playing for the Panthers Football team. Like so many others, playing for Reitz High School was something I will never forget.

    Who was your favorite coach?

    Baseball Coach John Ritter, he was without question my favorite coach.

    How did Devine Custom Painting begin?

    Honestly it was just me, a truck, and a paint sprayer. I love what it has grown to be! There have been challenges over the years like many small businesses face. I have worked hard over the years to find and retain great employees and am grateful for where we are today.

    A Commitment to Supporting Our Community

    Here are a few examples of how the Devines Give Back!
