Jeff began his professional career with F.W. Woolworth Company (currently "The Footlocker Company") responsible for high volume store locations in Houston, San Antonio and Dallas. Throughout his 14 year career, he was promoted to different levels of executive management.
Jeff moved to Colorado in 1998 to pursue a career in telecommunications. He was given the responsibility to develop and grow a telecom division for Charles Taylor Communications (CHATCO). After 3 years of consecutive revenue growth, CHATCO was purchased and Jeff moved his team to Teleco of the Rockies and assumed the responsibilities as the Director of Sales. Within 1½ years, he more than tripled the sales team. In 2002 the Teleco of the Rockies ownership dissolved their partnership and Jeff joined one of the founding principles Dave Brown to start Axess Communications, along with 11 employee/owners. Starting as the Vice President of Sales, Jeff was tasked with developing a go to market strategy in a struggling tech industry. Axess was recognized by The Denver Business Journal as the Fastest Growing Private Company in the Denver Metro Area in 2002, 2003 and 2004. In 2008 Jeff was promoted to General Manager and in 2009 assumed the President and CEO position when Dave Brown stepped down. Dave Brown still plays an active role in Axess as Chairman of the Board and part time consulting role.
As President and CEO, Jeff looks forward to continuing Axess's year after year growth since the company's inception in 2002 and also maintaining its recognition of being a leader in the marketplace and the business communications industry.
Some of Jeff's career accomplishments include:
- Executive and Sales Management for over 24 years

- Recently published in Phones Plus Magazine (Jan. 05) - "Why the Channel should Champion Convergence"
