1.   Where do you dedicate your philanthropic energies?
Jeff: Ah church mostly.

2.   What are your passion(s) outside from working at Enduratex?
Jeff: Haha! That’s pretty easy. Church, fishing, golf and spending time with my family.

3.   Football season is coming up… who’s your team? Will you go to any games this year?    Jeff: Haha! Ohio State Buckeyes and no I won’t be going to any games this year…but maybe next year!



Additional Thoughts:
     Going back to one thing I touched on towards the end is that passion for the business. I think more than anything it is what we lack in our industry as more and more companies become corporately held. You can see the difference between companies that are run by people with passion for their business as companies that are just there for the stockholders. We’re in a unique position here because while our operation is here in North America, it is fundamentally operated on our own; you can see the passion from people in our business here. But if you go back to our corporate offices, and you can see that the passion isn’t there; it’s all about the numbers, it’s all about making quarterly reports. And that, I think, is a big distraction to our industry. When it comes down to it, we’re about color and design, and those things are emotional and require passion. People stick around this business because they have a passion for the business. I mean we have people, like me, that have been through five different companies in our industry. I don’t want to leave this industry. It’s not about leaving the company; it’s about leaving the industry. I’m not alone in that. There are a number of guys in our industry who feel the same way and if an opportunity comes up for them, they don’t want to leave the industry because they have a passion for this business. That’s what you’ve got to find, a passion for the business. Not necessarily a business that you would pick as your ultimate working environment, but you have to develop a passion for what you do.

Color and Autism

Throughout my career I ’ ve helped countless frustrated parents of autistic children to make empowering color choices for their kids ’ environments. My experiences of getting to know these families inspired me to research the effect of color on people with ASD and to offer solutions for creating colorfully harmonious environments. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 88 children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As more and more children are diagnosed, it ’ s imperative that parents and design professionals be aware of the specific requirements for this growing population. Special consideration needs to be given when selecting colors, finishes, lighting and storage. Does your child avoid a certain room in the house or an area of his classroom? The culprit may simpler than you think. Your child may be avoiding these areas because they ’ re too colorfully decorated. ASD children and adults tend to have heightened sen...

Having trouble spicing up a room? Here are 7 startups that can help you furnish and flare any space, whether you're looking for a single piece of artwork or a complete redesign. by Stephen Altrogge from Snap Munk Interior design and furniture selection used to be a labor-intensive, time-sucking, expensive endeavor. You had to travel to a variety of stores or shows, or deep-creep a ton of websites, determine what would fit both your budget  and  picky style preferences (lots of leopard print for me), or maybe book a series of appointments with an interior designer and go through all the motions with them, and then organize a bunch of stuff to be delivered or haul it around yourself–and that’s just the basics. Now a host of innovative startups are making it all of it simpler; interior design and home furnishing has been hit with a much-needed touch of innovation and convenience. To start, here are seven of them to check out… CoContest CoCon...
