Narrative:
After touching down on the 1000 foot marker the aircraft veered to the left; exiting the runway into the grass. I believe this was caused by a left crabbed attitude at the time of touchdown. Shortly after exiting the runway the aircraft struck a taxiway sign (A3) knocking it over. After crossing the taxiway we were able to get back on the runway and continue our taxi to the FBO where we did a visual inspection of the damage and reported the knocked over taxiway sign.
