Here are some things you might not know about Jeff Ogden of Find New Customers.

Born and raised in Madison, Indiana - which is the only town in America that owns a race-boat called the Oh Boy Oberto, which has won many races.

In this small town, I worked for my great uncle in the seed and feed store. He was a 1925 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, when Knute Rockne was head coach. (He has passed)

He took me to a game at the University of Notre Dame and I loved the school.

I also played receiver for the Madison High School Cubs but we were not very good and lost most of our games.

I was graduated and I had good grades and a good SAT score, so I applied to Notre Dame and I was accepted.  Wow!

My mom said we could not afford it, but I was a determined kid

My parents dropped me off at school and i was in the dorm my first night and I went to the elevator. A man in a bathrobe was in the elevator and my jaw dropped. His calves were HUGE!  (It was Bob Golic, who played nose tackle for the Browns for years.)

After graduation, I went to work for the Caterpillar Tractor Company in Peoria, Illinois. But they had some bad times (Ronald Reagan’s first year) and my class was released.

Still getting paid and I had a brother in Park Slope, Brooklyn and I stayed with him.  We had a great time coaching basketball kids and more.

I got a job in Manhattan with Unisys and then later on Long Island.  Ironically, my boss Robert Greifeld has been the Chairman and CEO of NASDAQ/OMX for years and he is a good friend of  mine.

One day a pretty young woman came into the office and she heard the name of the former worker there.  I called her, we met and we were engaged after nine months.  I loved Kathy with all my heart and I still do.

Kathy gave me three wonderful sons, whom I love dearly and we had so many great years. But the world changed dramatically and I changed with it. (I am @fearlesscomp on Twitter)  We drifted apart and got divorced.

I did work at Best Buy in Westbury, NY, but then I had a major fall and nearly died.  Kathy and her mom stayed with me in the hospital, which means a lot to me.

After the divorce, I moved down to sunny Florida where my Mom lives and I started over.

Find New Customers was started by me in February, 2009 and it is still in business today, which is quite an accomplishment.
