For Jeff and Alexi McCullough, family and community are what matters the most. Shortly before their marriage in 2015, they decided to move to Ashland and start a family. Alexi, an Ashland native, knew it was the perfect place to raise children.

According to Jim Teece, who, along with his wife Dena Matthews, own Ashland Home Net and Project A in Ashland, they were “in the right place at the right time as the internet happened” and started to develop custom software that lived on the web. 

In late 2009, Zach Edwards, armed with a BS in Management and a CAFE (Certificate in Applied Finance and Economics) from Southern Oregon University, embarked on a journey that has taken a number of twists and turns and resulted in the thriving Ashland Automotive Inc., a full-service automotive repair shop on Ashland’s south side at 550 Clover Lane.

Ticor Title of Oregon, located at 147 First Street, Suite 102, is part of the Fidelity National Financial, Inc. family (FNF). They are “the leading provider of title insurance and transaction services to real estate and lending industries, ranking #359 on the Fortune 500.”

It’s been 22 years since Ryan and Zoe Lehmann arrived in Ashland, and it didn’t take long before they parlayed their combined restaurant experience by opening Zoey’s Café & All Natural Ice Cream in 2005 at 199 E. Main Street.
