Dennis Jones has a widely varied background in business. After graduating from Texas Tech University with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, he went to work for Bell Telephone Laboratories at their location at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico and worked as an engineer on several missile and radar projects. While with Bell Labs, he earned a master's degree in electrical engineering from New Mexico State University. From there he went to work for IBM in its data processing division and worked as a systems/sales engineer in Los Angeles. He later joined Texas Instruments in Los Angeles and then transferred to its Sherman, Texas location working primarily in the area of product marketing and marketing research. While with T.I. he earned a master of business administration degree. He left T.I. to purchase a franchise company. After purchasing more locations with the same franchisor, he sold all locations and worked as an independent contractor for satellite data systems providers. After several years, he purchased a different franchise company in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Having owned that company for two years, he sold it and moved to Springfield. During his years of owning his own businesses, his main focus was service to his customers. Shortly after moving to Springfield, he began volunteer work with SCORE, "Counselors to America's Small Business." SCORE is a volunteer organization that is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration and counsels people who are in business or who are seeking to go into business. During his eight years of service with SCORE, he has volunteered over 3500 hours of work with small business owners and has held numerous offices in the Springfield chapter. As a result of this service he received, personally from President George Bush, the President's Call to Service Award in November 2006. During his time with SCORE, he has specialized in counseling clients who want to buy or sell businesses, and has given numerous workshops on buying and selling businesses. His extensive education, his wide range of business experience, his work in business counseling, and his customer service focus form a perfect fit for his work with Sunbelt clients. Dennis is licensed as a real estate broker in the state of Missouri and is a member of the International Business Brokers Association. |
