About Jill and her Family
I grew up in Southern California, attending high school in
Central Ohio when my family re-located there for business
reasons.  After working in banking and accounting, I attended
The Ohio State University, graduating Cum Laude with a BS in
Business Administration, marketing major. Following college I
worked for Bank One as a commercial loan officer, calling on
the small business market in Cincinnati. One of my customers,
Johnson Group Inc., hired me to serve as its Vice President of
Corporate Affairs, with responsibility for corporate
communications, event planning, safety, insurance and managing
the office. I worked there until my "retirement" in 1993 to stay at
home with my five children. My passions are family and friends,
tennis (I'm captain of my team!), reading and walking.

I now serve as principal and co-owner of Cole Realty
Associates, a commercial real estate development company my
husband Steve founded in 2006. Steve formed the company after
a successful 25-plus year career as a corporate executive, most
recently for Summit Investment Partners, a subsidiary of
Cincinnati-based Union Central Life Insurance Company.

Steve grew up near Columbus, Ohio, and also attended The Ohio
State University where he earned his undergraduate degree in
Real Estate, as well as an MBA. He is a die-hard Buckeye fan!
Steve has served as Junior Warden and Senior Warden of St.
Barnabas Episcopal Church in Montgomery, and spent countless
hours coaching and cheering our sons in their sports, music and
theatre activities. Steve enjoys golf, working out and doing
projects around the house.

Our sons are Sean (Sycamore Class of 1996), Greg (Sycamore
Class of 1998), Brandon (Sycamore Class of 2007), Trevor
(10th grade) and Adam (8th grade).  Over the years our kids
have participated in football at the junior high and high school,
youth football and basketball through the Sycamore Athletic
Club, golf team, wrestling, lacrosse, student council, Sycamore
Singing Company, Touring Company, Boys' Choir, theatre, ski
clubs and more!

Oldest son Sean graduated from the University of Cincinnati. He
works in commercial mortgage banking here in Cincinnati. In his
spare time he coaches Sycamore youth and junior high lacrosse.  
He and his wife Meghan (Mueller) Cole, who graduated from
Sycamore in 2000, live in Mt. Washington with Bailey, a
chocolate lab.  Meghan teaches in Kenton County Schools.

Greg earned his education degree from Miami. He is now
pursuing his dream by teaching at his alma mater, Sycamore! He
coaches 7th grade football, wrestling and lacrosse.  He and his
new wife Mary Lynn, who works for Procter and Gamble, live
with their dog Boomer in Kenwood.

Brandon is following in his parents' footsteps by attending The
Ohio State University.  While at Sycamore he was a star golfer
but is probably best known for his theatre performances...as the
Reverend in Footloose, Gaston in Beauty and the Beast and as
Archibald in The Secret Garden.

Trevor is a sophomore at Sycamore and participates in Chamber
Choir and SHAG.  His passion is weather.  Click on

Adam is an eighth grader and plays football and lacrosse.  He
also sings in the choir and participates in student council.
