Ertel Publishing Profile: Jeremy Cundiff




We at Ertel Publishing like to showcase not only our wonderful clients and vendor partners, but also our fantastic staff members. The following is a profile of Jeremy Cundiff, Ertel Publishing's Design Supervisor.

Important Stats:
Favorite Color: Red
Favorite Food: Pizza
Favorite Movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Favorite Magazine: "I don’t subscribe to any magazines, so I can’t really pick a favorite. Vintage Truck is my favorite magazine that I’ve worked on. I like the design and shape of older trucks--they are works of art."

This year will be Jeremy's eleventh year with the company, but he has been an artist for as long as he can remember. His initial passion was drawing, but he eventually developed an interest in design, went to college, and earned his degree. After a few small design jobs, Jeremy interviewed at Antique Power, Inc.--which later became Ertel Publishing, Inc.--and was hired to design Vintage Truck magazine. Jeremy also designs material for various Ertel Publishing clients, including the Hart-Parr Oliver Collectors Association This year, Jeremy was promoted to Design Supervisor.

Jeremy has been married for fourteen years to his wonderful wife, Amy. Together they have two great children--Ethan, age 8, and Jonah, age 6. Says Jeremy, "Both Ethan and Jonah are talented artists already. When they’re old enough, they’ll probably put me out of a job."

Finally, when asked what he likes most about working at Ertel Publishing, Jeremy replies: "I enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. We’re like a family here, and, just like any family, everyone is dysfunctional in their own way. It keeps things fun and interesting."
