Our ShelfGenie of Metro DC Team

Jeff joined the ShelfGenie team after 20 years of working in various roles as a Federal Gov’t contractor. Originally from Ohio and graduate of Kent State University, he was looking for a new opportunity when he discovered ShelfGenie the day after having issues with his own kitchen’s shelves. When he realized the opportunity was there to become a ShelfGenie franchisee, he quickly jumped on board and is excited to introduce you to all of ShelfGenie’s solutions that will bring better access, storage, and organization to your everyday life. Jeff currently lives in Alexandria, VA with his wife and two children. He enjoys watching his kids play sports, hanging out with them in their backyard swimming pool, and watching way too many HGTV and DIY home improvement shows. Jeff and his experienced team are excited to help work with you to create custom solutions for your home.

I grew up in a home where Tupperware was stacked in a cupboard, finding each accompanying lid was a coup (since it was likely buried in the back), each shelf in our pantry was haphazardly stacked to the brim, kitchen chaos ensued! Vowing to have order in my adult life, I pledged to have my home “make sense”. The old adage, “A place for everything and everything in its place” has been my mantra. What I have recently discovered, however, has brought an amazing spark to my life, as it will to yours! Life is easier when everything is at your fingertips. You may know what is in the back of a cabinet…but now there’s a magical way to have it all in your visual space – with our ShelfGenie glide outs. These are life changers! I cannot wait to share my vision for your kitchen and bath with you. Design goes beyond aesthetics and has the capacity to change your life.

She discovered ShelfGenie where she found a perfect solution to the challenge most of her clients experience (the blind corner). It was love at first site. Impressed with the sturdy structure, and ability to obtain items that were normally out of reach, she was sold. From that point on she referred her clients to ShelfGenie for easy access needs in kitchen, garage, offices and bathrooms. Years later in 2016 she decided to join the team as a designer.
