Jeff Engler | Regional Publisher

Established in 2010 as a franchise under the leadership of Cheri Sagehorn, THM Chicago has since undergone a transition to the expert guidance of Jeff Engler. Jeff joined TheHomeMag team in June 2009 as a sales professional and quickly progressed to the role of Publisher for the Tucson magazine after a few years of honing his skills. Jeff's leadership, combined with his ability to build and inspire teams, has resulted in the Tucson magazine becoming one of TheHomeMag's senior and most respected publications.

Buoyed by the success of the Tucson magazine, Jeff took on the challenge of leading the Columbus OH magazine as Publisher, where he continued to mentor and support his teams. In 2023, Jeff assumed the role of Publisher for the Chicago magazine, bringing his B2B sales and client care expertise to the Windy City. Jeff's dedication to providing exceptional service to every client has become the cornerstone of his leadership style, inspiring and motivating his teams in Tucson, Columbus, and now Chicago.
