Which Way to the Water?


Jeff in the office. Not really, but he does this in the office too.
Jeff Meskan, master scubadiver and avid traveler, is the founder and CEO of Nexus 21. He is responsible for overseeing the design and engineering of Nexus 21’s products as well as managing all aspects of Nexus 21’s operations. "I'm excited about the upcoming year. We've hired a few super creative and energized team members that will enhance Nexus 21 on so many levels. We're also bringing new designs like the Swivel and the L-39 TV lift to market. We will have a complete product line to meet the needs of our customers."

And seeing customers happy is one of Jeff's favorite parts of the business. "I wanted to buy a TV lift for myself and found them to be so expensive and difficult to work with, I thought there had to be a better way. I decided to build an easy-to-install lift system at an affordable price, so you didn't have to be rich to own one. I'm happy to see the positive reaction and feedback from our customers."

here have a TV lift at home?"
As a long time Arizona resident, Jeff enjoys tennis and other outdoor activities. He particularly enjoys traveling with his family to tropical locations that offer water sports, particularly scuba diving. "The sea is an alien environment, like being on another planet. My favorite feeling is moving in 3 dimensions, particularly around caves and tall coral formations. I sometimes imagine myself to be like a bird, flying to a hilltop or diving down to land from high up."

But Jeff is no fish (or bird) out of water when it comes to education and experience. Jeff graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business. He earned his CPA certificate in Arizona and furthered his educational development by earning an Associates Degree in Information Technology from High Tech Institute in Phoenix.

When Jeff is not designing 21st century concepts or "living down under," he participates as a board member of Phoenix After School Sports (PASS), a charitable organization founded to promote education and opportunities to disadvantaged students through tennis.

Keep the ideas flowing, Jeff!
