Our search for men and women who embody exemplary faith and leadership at work, home, and beyond leads us this week to Jody Lee. \u00a0Jody is currently serving as the VP of Marketing at Cadence McShane Construction in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. \u00a0Recently, one of our students was able to touch base with Jody along with people who know him well. \u00a0Here’s more about Jody:<\/p>\n
Jody Lee excelled at ACU, earning an undergraduate business degree in 1999 and a graduate degree in missions in 2006. \u00a0He says that he tries to display faithful leadership in his day-to-day life by putting people first in everything he does. \u00a0\u201cI try to listen, encourage and challenge \u2013 in that order,\u201d said Lee.\u00a0He said that he strives to put others before himself, because that is what God has called us to do. The consensus among those that know Jody is that he is not only exceptional as a marketing professional, he is also an all-around great person. \u00a0Anyone who meets Jody knows first hand that he loves the Lord and seeks Him with all of his heart. \u00a0He has consistently followed God\u2019s call as it relates to his career, his family, and his church.<\/p>\n
