JVE Agency
JVE Agency is named in honor of my late father, who passed away in 2015. “JVE” were the initials he used throughout his career as a draftsman, working for a firm specializing in structural engineering, excavation, and shoring. The colors in our logo reflect his service to our country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War era.
My father set an extraordinary example for our family and community. During his military service, he served on the detail for Military Funeral Honors for soldiers killed in action. While attending college, he helped organize Latino students and served as a student advisor, recruiting and supporting low-income Latino students and helping many first-generation high school graduates gain access to higher education. Beyond being a devoted father, he consistently found ways to give back—whether funding uniforms for our local youth baseball league or providing internships to students throughout his professional career.
At JVE, we specialize in direct mail, digital strategy, and advocacy. Our mission is rooted in the values my father lived by: helping communities thrive, expanding opportunity for the underrepresented, and serving as a trusted advocate for those we work with.
