As Regional Developer, Smith will oversee franchise development and lead a local operation. In his regional role, he will recruit, mentor and support future franchise owners while contributing to the growth of the company’s network. ## Regional expansion plans The expansion represents another significant milestone in the company's national growth strategy and further strengthens its presence across the western United States. Smith brings nearly three decades of experience in real estate, business ownership, sales, marketing, customer service, and team leadership. Throughout his career, he has built businesses centered around strong relationships, operational excellence, and delivering exceptional customer experiences. Originally from Northwest Ohio, Smith relocated to Colorado in 1998 and quickly knew he had found home. His wife, Janelle, moved to the state a few years later from the same small Ohio hometown. The couple met in Colorado, married in 2004 and are raising four sons together. For Smith, joining 76 FENCE represents more than launching a new business. "Growing up, I still remember celebrating America's Bicentennial in our small Ohio town," said Jason Smith, Regional Developer and Franchise Owner of 76 FENCE Mile High. "Those memories never left me. To me, the 76 FENCE brand represents the same values I admired then: quality, hard work, and the pursuit of the American dream. Today, fencing isn't simply a luxury anymore. It's how families protect their homes, children, pets, and property, and I believe no one delivers that experience better than 76 FENCE." The opportunity to build both his own business and help other entrepreneurs do the same ultimately drew him to the Regional Developer role. "This opportunity is much bigger than launching my own territories," said Smith. "We're building a network of business owners who share the same commitment to professionalism, customer service, and quality craftsmanship. My goal is to help entrepreneurs build successful businesses while raising the standard for the fencing industry throughout Colorado and Wyoming." ## Rocky mountain market growth The Rocky Mountain region is uniquely positioned for continued growth due to expanding communities, large residential properties, agricultural operations and increasing demand for professionally managed home services, making Colorado and Wyoming natural next steps in 76 FENCE's nationwide expansion. "This part of the country still embodies the spirit of the American West," said Smith. "Whether someone owns a ranch, a suburban home or a growing business, they deserve expert guidance, premium materials, and responsive service. That's exactly what we're bringing to communities throughout the region." Supporting Smith in the day-to-day operation of the business is General Manager Tim Shelton, whose leadership experience includes Google Fiber, construction operations, and managing multi-unit installation teams. "Jason is building this business around one simple philosophy: treat every customer the way we'd want our own families treated," said Tim Shelton. "That means prompt communication, realistic timelines, quality craftsmanship, and following through on every promise we make. We're building a company people can trust from the first phone call through the final walkthrough." Beyond serving customers, Smith hopes to build an organization that creates opportunities for others. He plans to support future franchise owners, create meaningful local jobs and remain actively involved in causes that strengthen the communities the company serves. "Our expansion into Colorado and Wyoming represents another significant step in 76 FENCE's national growth, and we're thrilled to have Jason leading the way," said Ed Samane, Chief Executive Officer of 76 FENCE. "Jason has built businesses, led high-performing teams and created exceptional customer experiences throughout his career. Just as importantly, he shares our vision for helping other entrepreneurs succeed. We're confident he'll help establish 76 FENCE as the premier fencing brand throughout the Rocky Mountain region while developing a strong network of successful franchise owners." Long-term, Smith envisions building a family legacy that one day includes his four sons while helping shape the future of the fencing industry across the Mountain West. "I've started businesses before, but this one is different," said Smith. "I'm building something I hope will outlive me; a business my family can be proud of, that creates opportunities for other entrepreneurs and serves communities throughout the Rocky Mountain region for decades to come." ## Entities - Franchising.com (publication) - Home Services (sector) - franchise development (topic) - home services (topic) - Colorado (location) - regional expansion (topic) - Wyoming (location) - 76 FENCE (company) - Ed Samane (person) - Jason Smith (person) - Tim Shelton (person) --- Originally reported by Franchising.com (https://www.franchising.com/news/20260901_76_fence_launches_colorado_and_wyoming_expansion_with_regional_developer_ja.html).
