Jennifer Amundsen

Jennifer's background in aviation, the arts, and marketing have found a perfect home at amundsen-staats.

Since graduating, with honors, from Arizona State University, Jennifer has been a successful and virtually irreplaceable member of a number of marketing teams, increasing brand awareness (and, consequently, bottom-line results) at each turn.

When approached by Alan Staats, inviting her to help create an expanded agency and photographic studio in Scottsdale, Jennifer decided, after a period of thoughtful research and consideration, that the time was right to use her carefully honed skills to move in a direction of her own choosing.

The result of that choice is amundsen-staats, one of the most capable and productive new companies in the Scottsdale Airpark area.

Alan Staats

Alan Staats began his photographic journey at the age of eight, when he received his first camera, a Kodak Brownie. Several years later, his uncle gave him a twin-lens Yashica, purchased during a business trip to Hong Kong, and to offset the cost of processing and printing all the film he shot, Alan worked odd jobs in order to buy a darkroom setup.

Since then, he has been a photographer.
