Senior Management

Senior Management's Perspective:

Don Esposito

Senior Director of Purchasing, Construction and Maintenance

Chicago White Sox

"I recommended JSR Enterprises not only because of their outstanding performance during the 2007 season, but also because of their overall growth and development. JSR has come a long way in terms of expanding their operation and status within the Chicago contracting community.  They started out as a small company, but JSR is now a full-service operation; and it’s been great seeing new opportunities come their way.  They can do things for us now that they were unable to do in the past, both in terms of manpower and equipment.  It's worth noting that JSR is now an approved vendor to both the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago. Their approved status means JSR will have more opportunities to grow and become even stronger, which will only benefit the White Sox in the long run. It's always a challenge, and a test, awarding contracts - especially to smaller firms.  But when I see a small, minority-owned firm like JSR, with lots of potential, I am willing to help them.  It’s something we do here at the White Sox.  We won’t let a supplier just hang out there on their own.  The continuing success of JSR proves that we have a sound approach to working with diverse suppliers."

Michael Spidale

Purchasing Director

Chicago White Sox

"The White Sox are committed to providing opportunities for diverse suppliers to help us succeed in providing our fans with an exciting team and an excellent ball park experience.  We are proud of our unparallel history within the League of providing opportunities for diverse suppliers to support us in some of the most critical areas of our operations.  From printed materials to promotional items to the upkeep of our stadium and the maintenance of our players’ uniforms, diverse suppliers have and continue to make extraordinary contributions to our success.  I am delighted to once again acknowledge JSR Enterprises as one of America’s Best Diverse Suppliers®.  JSR continues to provide us with extraordinary service. Our fans would notice the difference if they were anything other than a top performing business partner.  We are delighted to recommend JSR Enterprises to our Baseball family and to any organization seeking expert plumbing services.”
