I have been involved with many aspects of the company. I started at JJ in March of 1995. I was hired as a driver and learned all of our routes, I then learned how to cut fish to help out as the company grew. After that I transferred to the warehouse as the need arose. Eventually I moved into the sales office. Before coming to JJ I worked as an electrician, wiring new homes. One of the guys that I used to work with suggested I give JJ a try when I had grown tired of construction. I was in the Navy reserves for ten years and learned to pilot a 75 foot landing craft like you may have seen in WWII. In my free time I like fishing, cooking, and spending time with my daughter and my wife.
