QUOTES ABOUT JEFF


"Jeff, I appreciated the article in Alabama Magazine so much."  Nall

 

"It was well written. You should be in the news business." Mark Wilder, Digital Content Manager, WSFA TV

 

"Recently, I was honored to be invited to become a part of EXCELLENT ARTIST. Jeff Barganier has put together an elite group of artists in various disciplines that I believe will be recognized internationally. It's wonderful to be a 'well known local artist.' Excellent Artist is the vehicle we need to become known around the world. No doubt in my mind." -Don Sawyer, Colorist, Destin, FL

 

“I would love to receive your art stories. Your writing style for the Melissa Tubbs feature is fantastic. Clear imagery, fabulous quotes, great background information.” –Sarah Brueggemann, Alabama Magazine

 

“Barganier shows the intricate finances and rules of the brokerage world with an insight that resembles Tom Clancy’s knowledge of the military. –The Mobile Register, Mobile, Alabama  1998

 

“Jeff was a very interesting guest on my talk-show, so much so that we have aired the show twice!!” –Joseph Poire, WOMR 92.1 FM, Provincetown, Massachusetts 1999

 

“Like Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum, Barganier can spin a tale that not only takes over the story’s characters and dialogue, but also a reader’s imagination.” –The Montgomery Advertiser 1998

 

“Mr. Barganier possesses an expansive yet arranged mind, one able to grasp multiple concepts and readily translate them in a systematic fashion to his audience. He has proven a strong researcher and a vivid communicator of his subject.” Dr. Dick Druary, Star of Hope Mission, Houston, TX 

 

“Jeff Barganier is a very successful businessman who also happens to be a lawyer and an already accomplished writer. I have known him for the past three years and have employed him at South Georgia College as a speaker on the writing of fiction. I believe he has tremendous potential as a writer.” –Carl B. McDonald, Ph.D.  2001

        

“The press release is excellent and the story on FOX is great! You must be an awesome publicist! When someone writes a great story, there is much publicity. But with a poorly done story even if it is seen by the masses, it brings very little interest and publicity. I have seen that with the interviews, etc. that I have had. A good publicist has a way of making the person look good…”  --Stacy Pilgreen Harris, Author of Happy Healthy Family: Tracking the Outdoors In 

 

"Thanks for getting in touch, I really enjoyed your story and it is exactly the type of shorter feature we would like to run in DUTCH."

Tom Bijvoet, Publishing Editor, DUTCH, the magazine

"You are a very talented writer. Thanks for your efforts." Artist Glenn McWaters
