R.J. Jackson
R.J. Jackson joined Trading Places International® as its
President and Partner in July of 1994, bringing with him a portfolio
of timeshare experience dating back to 1980 when he launched
his career working for the Santa Monica, California-based Watt
Industries. While at Watt, R.J. earned his way to the top —
starting out as a resort manager and finishing up as a principal
of the company.
R.J. is a born-and-raised Los Angeleno. His post-college career in law enforcement took him to San Diego where he served as a police officer, and to Las Vegas, Nevada where he made his living working for the State of Nevada Dept. of Gaming. Eleven years later he made the "unseemly" transition to the world of timeshare. Through his leadership, R.J. has guided Trading Places International to a high level of recognition and respect in the realm of timeshare management.
R.J.'s life is a trinity of passions: family, work and sports. He feels fortunate that his work affords him the ability to enjoy yet another of his favorite hobbies: travel — especially with his wife, Barbara. When not traveling, R.J. shares his home with Barbara in the Orange County, California community of Mission Viejo.
R.J. is an active member of ARDA (American Resort Developer's Association) and of the State of Florida Association Management.
