Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Apr 17, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Reco Jefferson, founder and CEO of Roughnecks Ecom, is the focus of a newly released in-depth interview titled "From Mississippi to Ecom CEO: The Story of Reco Jefferson." The feature, published by a respected independent tech blogger, offers readers an honest and compelling look into Jefferson’s life, from his early days growing up in Mississippi to leading a thriving e-commerce company in Philadelphia.
In the interview, Jefferson shares how a deep interest in engineering, a love of cars, and the need for personal discipline shaped his journey. After moving to the Philadelphia area during high school, Jefferson enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. He credits his time in service with giving him the structure and focus that would eventually drive his success as a business leader.
“I learned how to stay focused,” Jefferson says in the interview. “It helped me build the mindset I needed to succeed later in life.”
After his honorable discharge, Jefferson pursued a degree from Penn State University and began working as a software engineer. But his drive to create something of his own led him to start Roughnecks Ecom, a tech-forward e-commerce company that uses automation to streamline operations and increase efficiency.
“I didn’t start out thinking I’d be a CEO,” Jefferson explains. “I just wanted to create something that worked better.”
The feature also dives into Jefferson’s personal interests, including his involvement in the Sports Car Club of America, his lifelong love of Formula 1, and his downtime passion for horror and action movies—always with a bucket of popcorn in hand. He also opens up about his growing love for travel and his desire to explore new places spontaneously.
But perhaps most powerful is Jefferson’s focus on community. He remains deeply invested in improving the lives of young people in Philadelphia and frequently volunteers to speak at local schools. His long-term dream is to open a school that helps underserved youth gain real access to opportunity and education.
“I didn’t have much growing up, but I had access to knowledge,” he says. “That’s what I want to give back.”
