Button Chops - Pinback Buttons

Shelley Champine — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:12:22 +0000

1134 4th Street, #325
Santa Rosa, CA 95404

ButtonChops started years ago as one man making pinback buttons from his living room. It has since evolved to… one man making pinback buttons from his living room.

My name is Matt Weaver and I just moved to Santa Rosa, CA after spending thirteen great years in Gainesville, FL. I’m a Simpsons fanatic, sports junkie, bowling legend, beer aficionado, live music enthusiast, grill master, animal lover and pizza addict.

I started making buttons back in 2004 for my friend’s bands so they could offer cheap or free merchandise to their fans. It was intended solely as a hobby and never a business. Word of mouth spread and I started filling orders for local bands, clubs, charities, businesses and anyone who just wanted to see something they made on a button. Skyrocketing demand led me to give my little expanding button biz the very un-creative name “Gainesville Buttons.” 2009 delivers the snazzy new ButtonChops name and an even snazzier new website.

For local pick-up/delivery in Santa Rosa, CA:
1) Email matt@buttonchops.com with your name, contact information, and artwork (as .jpg, .gif, or .tif format) as well as any special instructions. Check artwork specifications.
2) Payment can be made at time of local pick-up/delivery. Cash, check or money order only.

For online ordering with shipping:
1) Add item type to your shopping cart.

Bonita Clifton, Advisor, All California Mortgage

Shelley Champine — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:13:30 +0000

I always strive to give personal yet professional service!

Born and raised in Marin County, a mother and resident of Larkspur. My work experience is primarily working in legal firms and the real estate field. In my free time I love to play soccer and ride my motorcycle. My first priority in life is my family and friends.

I have been a part of All California Mortgage for 17 years. During this time, I have held many positions from underwriting and loan servicing for our private lending division, ACM Investor Services, to assisting a top producing agent in the company. I have learned and been involved in this business from the ground up, and inside and out. Challenges are no stranger to me, and I strive on being able to use my knowledge and resources to obtain the most make sense financing for all of my clients. I primarily do residential financing (conventional, FHA and VA), but also have done small commercial, multi units and construction financing (both spec and owner). My knowledge of processing a loan, underwriting requirements along with the many established relationships with local lenders gives my clients the certainty of knowing that our deals will close. In this ever changing market I pride myself on educating myself to the current products and lending guidelines.
Recently, All California Mortgage joined with Opes Advisors, Inc, which has access to O A Mortgage Services (their mortgage banking division). By being affiliated with Opes Advisors, Inc., I am confident that I can offer not only great pricing, but I can offer quick closings should the need arise. In this limited market it is imperative to have full access to all different types of products and lenders in order to be able to provide full service to all of my clients.
