Bio
Jonathan Greer
In the short amount of time I have known Anton he has greatly impressed me with both his positive attitude and knowledge of his business. He brings a certain passion and intellect to the digital conversation that most people lack. I'm sure he comes already with great recommendations and does not need mine, but if he did, you can be sure I would offer the highest recommendation for him.

I had the pleasure of working with Anton Kaufer during his time at the Portland Press Herald. Anton managed sales employees in both the Classified and Retail Advertising departments. The job of managing a newspaper sales force in recent times has not been easy. Anton's job was further complicated by the fact that the sales force he managed was represented by a collective bargaining unit. In my capacity as director of labor relations, my work with Anton frequently centered around either a new initiative that sales managers were considering or some level of concern regarding employee performance, behavior, or discipline. Anton had more than his fair share of challenges during his time at the Press Herald and he faced them with a positive attitude, a strong work ethic and lots of energy. He worked hard to meet the goals and objectives set for the organization, he held people accountable and he never lost his sense of humor. I am happy to recommend Anton to you as a hard worker, a tenacious sales manager and someone who always greets you with a smile.
