Jodi Neal was born in Hollywood, CA, and grew up in the San Fernando Valley, attending El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills.  She began working for an electronics distributor, then spent many years as an assembler, attending soldering school at Jet Propulsion Laboratories in Pasadena, CA and becoming highly regarded by her superiors and peers alike for her exemplary high personal work standards and attention to detail.

In February of 1988, Jodi began her “office-personnel” career, working for a small electronics company in Thousand Oaks, CA, and soon became Office Manager.  Her duties then included almost everything related to the running of that business: purchasing, inventory control, kit preparation (for outside assembly of the product), invoicing and traffic control, as well as customer service and front-entry reception.  Jodi then spent several more years performing similar duties for various companies before “graduating” to full-time customer service work.

Since January of 2004, Jodi has been working with Sam Lax and David Stoddard (Founder/CEO and Director of Operations of SALA-GROUP, respectively) in various ways to further the advancement of SALA-GROUP’s on-line General Store (which includes the department you’re visiting now!)
