Jason Cox: 15 Years with Taylor Studios, Inc.

RANTOUL, Ill. - July 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Jason Cox began his career here right out of college as a graphic designer.  Since then, he has been an exhibit designer, project manager, design manager, and fabricator when needed.  Aside from Betty Brennan, the co-founder, owner, and president, he has worked here the longest and has helped shape the company we are today.

Jason was hired in 1998, and within his first week, proved he could handle anything which was thrown at him.  During that week, we needed someone to airbrush a 14' fish.  Not only did Jason step up and paint the fish flawlessly, but also he went to the World Fishing Center and helped install it.  Since then, Jason has been involved in well over half of the 400 projects Taylor Studios has completed to date.

When asked about this milestone, Betty had this to say about Jason:  “Jason is also a good manager. People rely on him. He is the holder of company knowledge and a resource to everyone at the company. As art director he knows how to give clear, constructive and straight forward criticism. This has helped improve the quality of our work year after year. He does hold people accountable, which is an important trait at TSI. Yet, deep down he is one of the most caring people I know.

“Jason's passion, integrity, loyalty and strategic thinking are some of the reasons I call him my right hand man. I know he's got my back and that is comforting for a CEO. I also appreciate his love of art and nature. It's what we do and his love of it shines through in our work.”
