J. Estes

J. Estes isn’t just an accounting manager; she’s the linchpin of Downes Media Inc.’s success. Every day, she works closely with CFO Brian W. Downes, ensuring the company’s financial strategies are innovative and robust. Together, they’ve helped the company thrive, expanding into new markets and building a stellar reputation for client satisfaction.
 

Roger Downes, the company’s founder, often says he knew J. Estes was special the moment they worked together years ago during his career in radio. Back then, her attention to detail and unmatched ability to manage clients stood out in the fast-paced industry.

Outside the office, J. Estes channels her passion into a unique side venture: baking sourdough bread. From her home kitchen, she crafts artisan loaves with the same care and precision she brings to her work. Her bread—golden crusted with flavorful interiors—is a favorite at local restaurants and in homes across the city. J. Estes jokes that kneading dough is her way of staying grounded, but her bread is nothing short of extraordinary.

Despite her busy schedule, J. Estes balances her dual roles effortlessly. By day, she’s the guardian of Downes Media Inc., ensuring its continued growth and success. By night, she brings warmth and comfort to her community one loaf at a time.
