During his time at Purdue, Jeffrey A. Minner, studied communications and was involved on campus working as Advertising Account Manager for the student newspaper, “The Purdue Exponent.” Jeffrey was also a member of the Chi Chapter of Kappa Sigma. During his time with the fraternity he served as kitchen manager from 1981-1982, and then as Grand Master during the Fall of 1983.
Upon receiving his Bachelor’s Degree from Purdue, Jeffrey began his career as an Account Manager for the electronic components distributor, Newark Electronics. He has remained in Indiana, and involved himself with the Surface Mount Technology Association, a group of professionals who develop solutions in electrical assembly technologies. While a member of the association, he served as both their Treasurer and their Vice President.
Today he resides in Indianapolis with his wife Julie, also a graduate of Purdue, and their two sons, Alex and Jake. He currently works for Restronics Midwest Incorporated, and attributes his “drive to be successful,” and his ability to “take risks, and work with people,” to the relationships and experiences he built through Kappa Sigma. Those traits have served him well. It has been just barely over 20 years since his graduation from Purdue and he is serving as the Restronic’s President.
“The Chi Chapter of Kappa Sigma was truly a home. It was a family. Like a family, you shared some good times as well as not so good times. What a great experience to live with 70 guys and learn to communicate, share, respect, support and just live like brothers.” – Jeff Minner ‘81
