OWNERS OF TECH REPAIR BUSINESS SHARE ON LIFE & LOVE
WEST CHICAGO/GENEVA/AURORA/WHEATON–It is said that opposites attract and although that is the case for Jeff and Lynne, at the heart of it all, they discovered they had the same core values and priorities after living as neighbors in an apartment building during their college years at Northern Illinois University.
They were married in 1994 in Matteson, IL near Lynne’s hometown of Chicago Heights and were gifted a honeymoon to South Carolina by Jeff’s boss at the time. Six years later they started their family with twins, Ryan and Haley.
“We have a love that is based on mutual respect,” Lynne says. “Like everyone, we have had our share of challenges, but we have weathered them together, which has made us stronger.”
They are the very first franchise owners of uBreakiFix, which is now Asurion Tech & Repair with over 700 stores nationwide. They opened their Geneva store in October 2013 and their Wheaton store in July of 2015. They don’t work together on the day to day operations but draw on each of their strengths as Jeff runs the day-to-day operations, while Lynne oversees the marketing for the two businesses.
In addition to this, Jeff is a real estate professional with Keller Williams Inspire in Geneva and Lynne is the Program Coordinator for the Narrative Medicine Program with Advocate Aurora Health.
This busy couple is active in the community while simultaneously creating a blossoming social life living as empty nesters alongside their two cats, named Swatch and Stitch that were adopted during the pandemic.
