The Team
Mark

CEO
I have worked in the food industry my entire career and have been fortunate to work for some great companies including 22 years at Kraft Foods. My last role, I was the President of JGC food company. I am very honored and humbled to be appointed president and CEO for Jones Soda Company. It is an amazing brand and a great organization. However, it was the world class talent and great team that inspired me to take the role. I look forward to building this company together.
When not working, I enjoy almost all professional and collegiate sports. Born and raised in Detroit, I am still very loyal to all my home teams (very painful). My real passion is hanging out with my friends and family. I have really been blessed.
Eric

President & COO
I love my job, and feel so fortunate to be working with such an amazing brand - it really is by the people and for the people. Please keep sending in your photos, quotes, and flavor ideas!
When I’m not at the office, my other passions include family, cooking, music, and craft beer. So, coming home on a Friday night after a productive week of selling Jones, putting on an old Willie Nelson record on the turntable, slathering some homemade barbecue sauce on a rack of ribs, and pouring a cold draft beer into a chilled glass pretty much sums up the perfect day for me!
Bohb

CMO
Imagine getting to work for the brand that makes your favorite Root Beer... it's a dream come true! I'm privileged to lead marketing for Jones - the original community driven always unexpected vividly colorful and astoundingly flavorful people's craft brand. With our expansion beyond soda into cannabis our aspirations only go higher.
I love my job - but I also love doing lots of stuff. Playing tennis, riding my motorcycle, squading up for video games or hanging with my kids. But if you've read it this far then just go listen to my band, we need the streams... Bicycle, Tricycle on all the platforms.
Dan

Vice President of Sales
I joined the Jones team in May 2020 with three decades of experience in the CPG industry. Most recently I was Director of Sales & Distribution at Tim’s Cascade Snacks. I have built my career on trust, commitment and a strong work ethic managing direct, distributor and broker sales teams.
The Pacific Northwest is home, born and raised in the PNW I am a loyal fan of the Seahawks, Mariners, Rainiers, Sonics, Zags and COUGS. I also enjoy traveling with my family, visiting the many great PNW wineries and playing golf. #JONESSODA
Curt

Director of Marketing
I’m a self-professed CPG nerd. People refuse to go with me to the grocery store because I’m always looking at new and interesting products, and it takes me forever to finish my shopping. I love to see all the variety in drinks and snacks. Was English poet William Cowper foreshadowing the endless assortments of Jones Soda when he wrote “variety is the spice of life” in 1681? Why yes, I also have a Liberal Arts education from the University of Puget Sound. In my downtime, I make things in metal that would mostly be classified as bad art or “other.”
A veteran of both the “Soda Wars” and the “Bar Wars,” I’m excited to join and build Jones as an uncompromising alternative to Big Soda (you know who you are!)
Joe

Controller
Very excited to be on the Jones Team! An environment full of hardworking and passionate people. The Jones Brand is unique and am proud to be a part of its growth. When I’m not at work, I love hanging with friends and family, listening to some chill reggae in the sun, and watching the Seahawks, Cougs, and Mariners.

Home base is West Des Moines, Iowa with my beautiful wife Krista and our adorable kids Maxwell and Olivia. I spend most of my work time traveling across the country visiting our great distributors and retailers. My free time is spent with my family, friends and anything outdoors.
Chris

Operations Manager
I am part of a hard working team. We do work. We do it for the feeling we obtain & because we’re in search of something. We want to relive some great moment we had in the past. Moreover, it’s also to create some other incredible moment like the last one but more intense. As long as we reach our limits... but who knows where those are? Our realm is when we are together against a new dare. It can be anywhere, on snowboards, at the ballpark, in water, in the air... or at the office doing work.

I am very excited to have joined this very talented team at Jones Soda. The opportunity to work with such the great Jones Soda brand and all unique flavors is going to be a highlight of my career.

Chris

Business Development Manager
I have known Jones Soda my whole life and am very excited to help share my love for the company with others. Growing up in San Diego I spent the majority of my time in the ocean or playing music with friends. But, I knew that I had found my place in the Pacific Northwest when I moved to attend the University of Washington. The things I love most now are backpacking, live music, and cooking with friends. The best is when I can combine all three!

Originally from Cleveland Ohio (GO Browns!) I attended college at University of Cincinnati and later earned a degree in Digital Design and Graphics while living in Columbus Ohio. Most of my career has been spent working in the automotive sector, as well as building a career on social media platforms such as Instagram and Youtube.
