Our Team

Jeremy Harrison - President

"I grew up on a family farm in Northwest Ohio. When I started at Heidelberg College in 1996 the internet was just beginning to pick up momentum. I designed my first website from my dorm room in 1999, a ministry-based website that is still going strong today. 

Kim & I have been married since 2000. We moved to Ashland, Ohio for her to attend seminary in 2004 -- and we both liked this little town so much we decided to stick around. Just as she was wrapping up her Masters Degree, I was taking the big step and starting Spire. Kim & I are involved at Five Stones Community Church.

Bryan Lefelhoc - Marketing Consultant

Bryan brings more than twenty one years of advertising sales and marketing experience to Spire Advertising.  He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio and Television Broadcasting, Performance and Production from Ashland University in 1988.

Bryan and his wife Renee were married in 1990. After living and working in Cleveland and Marion, they returned to Ashland in 1994. They have three wonderful children.  Bryan is a member of the Ashland City Schools Board of Education, and attends Five Stones Community Church.

Paul Stoffer - Design Manager

"I graduated from Ashland University with degrees in Computer Science and Computer Art & Graphics Programming. Immediately after graduating, I joined Spire and worked as the main designer and had my hand in much of the programming as well, giving both sides of my brain a well-rounded workout.

Outside of work, I'm newly married to my amazing wife, Molly. I love to play and listen to all sorts of music, and art remains a hobby of mine, on and off the computer. I'm also involved with Five Stones Community Church."

Kevin Crawford - Project Manager

"Helping customers with their websites, graphic projects and technology basics is an awesome opportunity. And it’s a service not many web design firms seem to offer. My job is never the same from day to day as website production is an ever-changing world. Helping folks reach their target audience without the distraction of “tech-no-babble” is one of my highest goals.

For 13 years I've served in sales focused customer servicing positions including Retail Sales Manager for Dillard’s Department Stores and Store Manager for Sprint Retail Stores. I grew up in Northeast Ohio and admire the values of small town pride and the importance of family.

Scott Alford - Web Programmer

"I am currently finishing college at Ashland University where I will receive a degree in Computer Science. I was given an opportunity to intern at Spire during my Spring semester, which turned into a part time summer job and eventually a full time position. Working at Spire has allowed me to be creative as well as innovative, particularly in custom fitting our content management system to meet the needs of each of our clients.

Beyond Programming, I enjoy many things including music, sports, camping, recreation, and many other activities. I try to be as well rounded of a "Geek" as I can be."

Ashley Brown - Customer Service Representative

Ashley joined the Spire team in August 2009, and we're excited to have her on board.  She is our front line of customer service, and does invoicing, accounts payable, email management, and a rapidly-growing list of other services. Her bio will be added when she finds the time to write it!

Lisa Tiel - Copy Writer

"In 2000, I began my undergraduate education at Ashland University. Four and a half years later, I graduated with a BA in History, Philosophy and Religion, and a great deal of experience in the art of writing. I have published several articles and essays in the past 8 years and am very excited to be applying those skills here at Spire.

Outside of work, I enjoy few things more than a cup of tea and a good book and am happiest when spending time with my greatest blessings: my husband and two young stepchildren."

Jennifer Kershner - Content & Data Entry

"In 2006 I decided to launch into teaching private piano lessons from home, something I had dreamed about doing in college as a Music Education major. Jeremy and the team at Spire helped me get started with business cards, my own website and a little encouragement! By the time my husband, Kyle, and I welcomed our first child in 2007, I had enough students to make teaching my primary job.

When Jeremy was looking for some help with data entry because of Spire’s rapid growth, I was more than happy to step up. With my past content entry experience and my knowledge of Jeremy & his wife as personal friends I knew this was a job where I could perform well. I’m happy to be a part of the Spire team!"
