Jay Ziegler
Email Address: jayz@tapecon.com
Jay is proud to be celebrating his 16th year in the graphic arts. He entered the industry in print production/management, and has held positions including Product Manager, Regional Sales Manager and Senior Key Accounts Executive. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Medaille College in Buffalo, NY, and a Masters' degree in Strategic Leadership from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY. From working in production to managing an individual sales territory with over $7,000,000 in sales revenue, Jay has truly enjoyed his time and growth in our industry.
While not working or studying business, Jay enjoys running (has finished 14 marathons), alpine skiing, boating, waterskiing, softball and roller hockey. He is a fan of the Buffalo Bills' and Buffalo Sabres' and is (somewhat) patiently waiting for them to deliver championships to Buffalo.
