Our Team
About Our Team:
Jeremy Harrison - President & Founder
"I grew up on a family farm in Northwest Ohio. When I started at Heidelberg College in 1996 the internet was just beginning to fully emerge. Four years later -- as I was graduating with a marketing degree -- the "dot-com bubble" was fully inflated and about to burst! I designed my first website from my dorm room in 1999, a ministry-based website that is still going strong today.
I've been married to my wonderful wife Kim since 2000. Kim & I moved to Ashland, Ohio for her to attend seminary in 2004 -- and we both loved this little town so much we decided to stick around. Just as she was wrapping up her schooling, I was taking the big step and starting Spire. Kim & I are actively involved at Five Stones Community Church - which meets on the campus of Ashland University."
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 & Accounting
"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.
It’s my pleasure to provide a fun, easy and productive customer experience. Our dedication to exceed expectations and over deliver on our commitments ensures the success our customers deserve. I look forward to working with you."
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."
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!"
