JR Ridinger, President/CEO
JR founded Market America in 1992 and is the architect of the UnFranchise Business Development System - a business model that currently rewards more than 180,000 hardworking, independent business owners, more than 300 of whom have become millionaires.  The company employs more than 500 employees and currently has operations in six countries.  In a time of economic uncertainty, JR has leveraged Market America into a recession-proof business by offering in-demand, market-driven products through the company's exclusive lines and millions of other items via the company's online partner stores.  Built on product, powered by people®, he has created the ultimate online shopping destination where customers get paid to shop.
 
Andrew Weissman, Executive Director of Field Development
Andrew Weissman has played a significant role in the expansion and growth of Market America domestically and internationally.  Andrew is a regular featured speaker and instructor at a number of events, including our International Convention, ma® World Conference, Moving Up Seminars and various regional, district, and local events.  He also plays a major role in the company's global marketing efforts.  Andrew's strength is in training how to effectively and efficiently implement the entire UnFranchise® Business Development System.  In addition, he specializes in teaching how to master the basic fundamentals necessary to realize one's full potential.
 
Jim Winkler, Vice President of Sales for Market America
Prior to his introduction to Market America, Jim was a Vice President of Sales and Marketing for a postcard souvenir company.  His role there was expansive, overseeing the training of all sales staff throughout North America and developing marketing campaigns for new products.  In 1997, a friend introduced him to Market America products, at which time Jim also began applying his management expertise to building an UnFranchise® business part time.  It didn't take long for him to become a full-time UnFranchise Owner, and within a couple short years, Jim hit Director, on his way to eventually hitting Field Vice President.  Now he has accepted the position of Vice President of Sales for Market America.  Although his priority is now with the corporate development side, Jim will continue to manage his UnFranchise business, and all the progress that he makes in this new roll will directly benefit his fellow UFOs.  Jim's goal is to ensure that what all 180,000 Shop Consultants and UFOs (including himself) have built, will continue to grow and prosper for generations to come.
