Every month, Socket employees ­nominate and vote on a co-worker who best exemplifies our Core Values and Beliefs.

This month, we picked Jeff Gray, from the programming department. Jeff builds and maintains the programs we use here in the office to keep everything organized and scheduled, as well as the programs our customers use to track their personal accounts.

“Jeff is a force for good in this world, and he is a genuinely helpful and useful guy that pulls things together for Socket on a regular basis,” said a co-worker who nominated him. “Basically, Jeff helps us help ourselves make the difference.”

Originally from Lebanon, Missouri, Jeff enjoys video games and cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals. He’s worked at Socket for nearly three years now, after interviewing here right out of college.

“We always have wide variety of projects we are working on,” said Jeff. “What I work on one week is often very different from past projects, which means I’m constantly learning new things.”

Jeff’s enthusiasm shows in all his work, and for that, we’re proud to name him our You-Make-The-Difference Award winner for August. Congratulations!
