Hi,

I spend 13 years working at a desk in Corporate America. I went to college for computer science, spent time as a developer, software tester, manager, and director of technology. I know all about sitting at cubicles. I know all about office life. I know all about office snacks, water coolers, coffee machines, and using two plates when putting something in the microwave.

I Made The Switch

My Name is Jeffrey Kelly and I worked in corporate America for years before seeing my first standing desk. Once I did, and when I didn’t have one, I was always trying to get one through desk moves or swaps or other means. I run a company called AssetLab and promote greatness in people’s lives through a network of websites and companies. I made the switch and you can too!

Stand tall at work :-)
