“Jeff” Rose grew up in East Chattanooga, Tennessee and after completing schooling in 1961 entered the employ of a CPA firm with the task of setting up a computer service bureau. He then became a data processing manager and in 1970 started his own EDP consulting business which grew and prospered until 1997. He taught computer courses in Jr. College as well. In 1992 Jeff became interested in engine ignition systems. Over the years he built a Varieze, then a second one, a Long Eze, then an Avid Flyer, followed by a Kit Fox. His interests turned to restorations of antiques which he did several times. His first ignition system was a manually controlled HEI based model for the VariEze. An automatic advance system followed. Over the years Jeff has provided thousands of sophisticated systems to many repeat customers in the experimental fraternity. His designs have set records. The objective of his development efforts has been to supply the highest degree of timing accuracy in the industry along with installation flexibility and high levels of reliability. Jeff is now working on his programmable force replicator invention and remains active as a consultant to Electroair. Electroair’s policy of continuous innovation has carried out Jeff’s original goals with the distinction he set as our standard.
