JSM - Key Persons
From his early days growing up in Haiti, JSM Owner Jean Milfort knew the value of hard work and thinking outside the box. Jean was entrepreneurial from a young age, making a profit by selling school lunches, and while he admits that life back then was harder, it was also one that prepared him use whatever had to create his own blessings. Now rooted in Delaware, Jean and his family continue to seize opportunities when they can, create them when they don't already exist, and bring as many people along for the ride as possible.
Also Haitian born, Mirlene met Jean in a parking lot in the United States and knew immediately that this was someone who would play a big role in her life. Jean was equally smitten and used their mutual acquaintances to follow up and begin dating the woman he'd eventually marry. Mirlene has played a pivotal role in the development of JSM from the initial concept to using her background in Human Resources to help with business operations and employee management. Along with working in the business, Mirlene works full time as an LPN and is pursuing a degree to become an RN.
