Jones Soda Co.

Hey my name is Tom. I live in Southern California with my wife Kathy and two boys Sean and Tommy. We grew up in Cleveland and are life-long suffering Indians, Browns and Cavs fans. We've lived all over the US Cleveland, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Southern California twice and have loved them all. My boys actually think I have a cool job now selling Jones which is nice. They are both in Little League so all of our free time is spent with our friends down at the Lake Fields in South Mission Viejo, CA.

I joined Jones in January 2007. I have been involved in the beverage industry since 1993 with various roles on both sides of the "Desk" (Category Management/Sales). Born near Pittsburgh (yes, I'm a Steelers fan, sorry Seattle) but raised as a Jersey boy. Speaking of, ("don't knock Jersey until you've tried it"). My free time is totally consumed by my family, my wife Zhanna, 2 boys Alex and David. I enjoy traveling, golfing occasionally, and reading.

I have 16 plus years of experience in the Food & Beverage industry. I graduated from NY Tech in 1989 and started working for Beehive Beer as a territory rep in Manhattan selling brands like Miller, Guinness, Heineken and Amstel Light. I then went into business as an owner operator of a route on the upper west side selling Mistic, Stewarts and Nantucket Nectars when they were first introduced to the market. After a couple years my wife and I moved to New Jersey and I began working for one of the top food brokers in the country; Acosta Sales & Marketing managing brands such as Minute Maid, Heinz in the supermarket channel and then Poland Spring and Ocean Spray in the convenience/ C-store channel. I enjoyed working in the beverage industry the most and became the NE. Regional Sales Manager for BAWLS Guarana energy drink. Went back to the distributor side of the business working for Big Geyser as Chain Manager calling on all the buyers of the major chains in the NY market and am now leveraging my relationships to help build the Jones Soda business in Metro NY as the new NE Regional in DSD channel.

What's up Jonesers! My name is Darin. My territory spans across the great states of NM, AZ, NV, CA to HI. I live in Southern CA with my 2 great kids, Kailey and Caden. Always trying to find more time to spend outdoors. Most of my off time is spent at the baseball fields with my sons team(s). My daughter is now getting geared up for high school...argg! I love to spend vacation time up in the Sierra's both winter and summer. Skiing Paranoid Flats and the Avie Chutes up at Mammoth Mountain or fishing at all the great lakes up around the Mammoth and June Loop area is amoung my favorite things to do. Coming to work with Jones has been exciting and very fast paced - Everyone assoicated with Jones is awesome and very unique which add's to the Jones Inner Flavor and Culture.

They told me to write a new bio. Like I have nothing better to do. I am TRYING to make soda here. In a nutshell here I am... I like sunshine, R&B, fresh flowers, mornings, manly men, bawdy talk, interesting artwork, beer, my job, telling people I care about that they are loved, good books and yoga. I dislike cold weather, rudness, people with no stories to tell, country music, white socks with black toes, unoriginality, no time to nap, running on a treadmill, fruity drinks, attention hogs, lying and bad cooking.

Leaving a smoldering trail of broken hearts and ruined fortunes across Europe, Laura comes to us from the court of Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein. She has expressed weariness of court life and a burning desire to learn how "the real people" get along without staff, limousines, fine art collections, or teams of prize-winning Arabian horses. "It will be so fun," she has been heard to say, "Like camping!" A legendary raconteur and philosopher, Laura has had over a dozen volumes of poems, thoughts, scholarship, political analysis, and romance novels published under various pseudonyms, the most famous being the world-renowned cookbook and science fiction legend Esmerelda Bassington-Bassington. She asks that this be kept strictly confidential, as she doesn't want earnest, doe-eyed young men or autograph-seekers to bother her at work. Especially not the doe-eyed, curly-haired, muscular young men.

I knew Jones Soda would be an interesting place to work Will Ferrell, dressed in green tights, was squeezing himself into an elf-sized bed on the flat screen in the lobby waiting area the first time I entered the building. And it's only gotten better. How many people get to review agreements titled "Boom Boom Huckjam"? And who knew making premium beverages would introduce (on paper) me to Chris Chelios of the Detroit Redwings. And recently all three chief executive officers of the company crawled through a window onto the roof of the building for a BBQ. And that's only the beginning of my life so far at Jones Soda. My job in summary is to try to keep Jones Soda out of trouble. With this group of creative people that's challenging but fun.

Sladics rode solidly all day and snatched victory in her final run, stomping a FS Boardslide to Fakie, followed by a massive Cab 5 Mute to FS 5 Indy, to a cab 270 boardslide, spinning through the trapozoid box. In doing so she earned her first ever Swatch TTR victory and moved into World No.24. Chanelle's good friend's, Jamie Anderson (USA) and Silvia Mittermueller (GER) taking second and third respectively.

Hi my name is Jeff Steele. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia and I spend most of my work time travelling throughout BC visiting stores and quenching peoples thirst. When I'm not "Jonesing" it, I can be found with either a hockey stick or a guitar in my hands. Here in Western Canada, Jones 24C Vitamin Enhanced Water has really started to make a name for itself. If you havent tried this tasty number, you are missin out!

I applied here after I saw Kelly Ripa nearly vomit on live television after tasting a holiday flavor. You can take that as you like. I administrate orders, programs & events for our National Accounts: Panera, Barnes & Noble, Sam's, and Alaska/Horizon. I have some special projects up my sleeve as well.

Muy Bueno: wine from a cask, beer from a keg, traveling light, a field of puppies, napping in the grass, a hot summer day spent in the swimming pool, the smell of campfire in my hair, my esposo Scott, laughing with friends, hearing my niece and nephews call me Auntie Rachael, being the Mayor of White Center.
