About Us

Experience

In 2023 Rock Solid Business Development migrated to the care of Jeff Miller of Divine Signs and Graphics.  Jeff Miller and Rock Solid's founder, Andy Rockwood, were friends and associates, meeting once a month, with other business leaders in the community, for 10+ years, to discuss best business practices.  Andy was quick to listen, quick to assist, and a gracious leader.  He made us all better.

Jeff Miller is the Owner of Divine Signs and Graphics (founded 2003), a Full-Service Sign and Digital Graphics Business in Schaumburg, IL. Jeff is a member of the Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates Rotary Club, Chairman Emeritus for the Schaumburg Business Association, Member of the Schaumburg Business Development Commission, and Trustee Schaumburg Park Foundation.

Prior to Jeff and Michele making their move into entrepreneurship, Jeff had 19 years of national and global sales and sales management experience in the wireless data and computer industries. Jeff realized significant results in his career, developing high performance sales teams, distribution channels, global/ national accounts and wireless data carrier relationships across the world. His most recent assignment prior to Entrepreneurship was with Sierra Wireless, where he was Vice President of Worldwide Business Development. Jeff spent over nine years at Motorola, where he held senior sales management roles in Motorola’s wireless data businesses. Jeff attended Elmhurst College where he earned a B.Sc in Marketing and Psychology.

On July 19th, 1989 Jeff was onboard United Airline’s flight 232 (UAL232), a DC-10, with 296 people when it's rear engine exploded which forced the plane to make an emergency landing in Sioux City, IA. The plane cartwheeled, broke into pieces, and burst into flames. 184 lived, 112 lost their lives. Jeff unbuckled from his seat and walked away from the burning wreckage without a scratch; without a smudge.

Jeff has shared his life changing experience with thousands of men and women across the country in settings such as the Christian Business Men Committees, Full Gospel Businessmen, Universities, Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs, National Prayer Breakfasts /Luncheons, and has been the Key Note Speaker at corporate gatherings. Jeff has also appeared on Christian Television, National Radio programs and in LIFE magazine.

I have been working with Andy at Rock Solid Business Development for 7+ Years. He has become one of my trusted advisers that I turn to when faced with decisions covering almost every aspect of my business. Their recent focus on Employee Engagement has caused me to re-think our approach to our employee programs, etc.

I enjoyed Andy and his partner’s presentation on employee engagement. Business small or large, its people make all the difference! Andy approaches the topic from a practical point of view. He examines company's wellbeing from several aspects - business culture, employee’s attitude, policy, motivation and incentive etc. It has a tangible impact on our long term commitment to make our small company a great workplace for our employees. Thank you Andy.
