Jeff

There is no limit to
personal achievement.

After his accident, Jeff knew he wanted to get back into the home improvement field. He managed to save enough money to open his own business, Team Vinyl & Roofing. With this new business came new responsibilities. As Jeff reflects on his accomplishments, he notes, “After my accident I never looked back. Right from the get-go I had a positive attitude.”

“When I first started working for Jeff he told me that any goal is achievable with a little hard work. Hard work is something that Jeff is definitely not afraid of, and it shows in the success of the company. The amount of time and effort he puts into achieving his goals is nothing short of truly inspirational.”
John Kenny, Project Coordinator, Team Vinyl & Roofing

At the Monadnock Center for Successful Transitions (MCST), our goal is to share knowledge and build awareness
of opportunities within the workforce for able workers with disabilities.
