After graduation she spent a short time in the wholesale floral industry before moving onto the landscape and golf industry. She spent several years in outside sales. However, the direction of her career rapidly became more focused on the growth of Sierra Pacific instead of the growth of plants and turf. As the business grew, her responsibilities shifted away from sales and into management. Currently, she is the operations manager for the company as well as the branch manager for the Campbell warehouse. When she is not working or driving her teenage daughter, Elizabeth, all over the Bay Area, she is clogging (a folk dance) or taking the family dog, Kona, for a walk.

This tidbit was tossed into the back of his mind until a couple of summer jobs clearly pointed him in that direction. His desire to work outside and prepare a place for people to enjoy their time off was the final straw that shot him into turfgrass management (besides the fact that he had to pass calculus to teach math.) Jeff graduated from Chico State with a BS in ornamental horticulture and afterwards was the only American selected to be an intern at the Old Course, St. Andrews, Scotland. After a couple of months of travel in Europe he came back to the states and was hired as the assistant superintendent at the Resort at Squaw Creek followed by superintendent positions at Blackhawk Country Club, Aptos Seascape Golf Course and Willow Park Golf Course. After 15 years in the golf game, Jeff was looking for another career and chose sales with Sierra Pacific. He’s responsible for the areas of landscape, municipalities, schools, universities and selected golf courses. When he’s not driving the roads of the Bay Area, Jeff participates in surfing, golf, hockey, softball and any other sport available. He is a voracious reader and likes going to the theater.
