Jeff Upton
Jeff Upton started his career with Cleveland Tubing just in time to help implement a whole new accounting/ERP package.  He got to learn two systems in one month, but he stayed any way.   

Jeff is originally from the Chattanooga area, though he has called places all of the world home due to his father’s military career—from Germany to Japan to Massachusetts to Maryland—he’s been there.  He graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a B.S. in Accounting in 1993.  Since graduating, he has worked for a number of organizations—a local bakery, a manufacturer of plastics equipment in Pennsylvania, an insurance company, and a custom apparel manufacturer—so he comes to us with a wide range of experience. 

Jeff is dedicated to the two families in his life—his immediate family and his church family.  Jeff married his wife Jodi after just two weeks of dating.  He knew after the first date that she was the one for him.  They have two beautiful daughters who think that their dad sits in a vault somewhere and counts money all day for a living—don’t we all wish that were true!  Jeff is a sports fanatic.  Though he doesn’t seem to realize that he lives in the south—his favorite teams include:  the Buffalo Bills; Michigan Wolverines; Los Angeles Angels; Los Angeles Lakers and the Redwings.  When Jeff isn’t watching sports, he enjoys tennis and plays in local tennis leagues and tournaments.  At his prime, he was a solid 4.5 player.  He also likes to fish in his local pond and the rivers in the area.
