Jeff Mardis is owner and President of Rainbow Design Services, Inc. Jeff started the company in 1993 after several years working for different cable operators including Times Mirror Cable, Storer Cable, TKR Cable and InterMedia Partners. Like many in the CATV industry, he started in an entry level position and worked his way through the ranks. Through long hours and hard work, Jeff held positions of increasing responsibility throughout his career with the MSOs including Plant Manager for the 200K customer network in Louisville, KY and Technical Director for InterMedia Partners in West Tennessee.

Jeff opted to leave the MSO World in mid-1993 to start Rainbow Design Services, Inc. Working for other regional contractors, he quickly realized that if he was going to sustain his fledgling company, he would have to grow the business to where he could seek work directly from the cable operators. He then set out on a path to find like-minded people that had the same ethics and devotion to hard work that he holds dear to his heart. Over the years this team has grown steadily, always with people working towards a common goal of providing superior products and services to its customers.

Commitment to customer satisfaction is Jeff's number one goal. Each job, no matter how large or small is treated with the same level of care. Jeff developed a philosophy early on that it was important to him to be engrained in the everyday operation of his customers. In doing so, the company has forged long standing relationships with most all of their customers. From a personal standpoint, it is much more gratifying to feel like you are building something than simply doing a job and moving on to the next one. While our customers will always be our number one priority, commitment to our employees and our community and the communities of our customers are very important too. There is a real satisfaction watching the younger employees (especially those that have been around for over ten years) build their lives, families and homes and feeling like you gave them an opportunity.  Each year we contribute to the Special Olympics, Kosair Children's Hospital as well as sponsorship in several charity events.

Whatever degree of success Jeff and his company has had over the years, the formula for doing so remains quite simple: work hard, be a person of high integrity, surround yourself with awesome people and treat your customers (both internal and external) the way you expect to be treated. This will always be our approach!!
