While he may not be running for public office, Pat McDaniel is already President of JFM Enterprises.  JFM is a long-time sponsor of Plein Air Easton and was first to sponsor the new Plein Air Easton Podcast.  Jess and Tim sit down with Pat and discuss what is involved in providing frames for competition artists and the history of his family business.

 

"I’m a rare native Atlantan and currently reside in Sandy Springs, GA with my wife and 3 children. In the 80’s I attended UGA but graduated from Georgia State University with a business degree. I grew up working in the family business before high school and college, and after a brief career in real estate development, opportunity and unemployment collided head on so I returned to the family business to work with my father. Turns out we really needed each other and 21 great years later I am proud to run JFM! Over the years it has been my pleasure to be a part of the growth we’ve enjoyed here at JFM, transitioning from a few family members (but a company with good bones) to a leading industry frame supplier. I am blessed to work with such a great team of dedicated people who care about our company and customers like I do. Outside of work I am passionate about family activities, the Atlanta Braves, Falcons, and Georgia Bulldogs. When time permits I enjoy training and competing in endurance sports events, any family time, growing in my faith, coaching my kids youth sports teams, and always enjoy a great book to go with my coffee addiction."
