| Jeff entered the rep world soon after graduating
from Hobart & William Smith Colleges in 1983 with a B.A. in Liberal Arts. He began as
a salesman for another rep firm covering a small portion of New England.
After several
successful years of road sales, building a territory for another
principal, he started his own firm. He then had to contend with
finding his own lines, covering a wider territory, and hiring other
sales people.
In
1997, he expanded his territory to the New York and New Jersey
markets. Subsequently, he as earn the honors of those states being the
highest volume states for many of the factories he represents.
Throughout
the years, he has carefully added lines and additional sales people,
bringing the total full time sales force to 14 people. He continues to work with key accounts, manage reps, and select
product lines. Factories wishing to submit their line for
