When one is raised in sunny San Diego, there is little reason to
leave. Jeff Davis began his formal education at Christian High School.
Upon graduation he attended Point Loma College and concluded his
degree at San Diego State University. Working with his father, Bob
Davis, at Southern California Bonding Service inspired Jeff to build
his own bond business in San Diego.
In 1995, Jeff founded Davis Bonding, Inc. with his father. After
nearly a decade of growing the business and earning a solid reputation
in the community, Davis Bonding partnered with Bond Services of
California. |

When the bond business was still in its formative stage, Christopher
M. Haenel was eager to learn the trade. In 1959, Haenel signed on
with Weitzel and Fourtney, one of California's first specialty bond
agencies. In 1971, he co-founded Southern California Bonding, elevating
the company to that of the largest bond provider in the state. Haenel
divested his interests in the 1980s to pursue real estate development,
returning to the bond industry in 1990.
Co-founder of California Civil and Judicial Bonding in Los Angeles,
Haenel seized the opportunity in 2002 to join Bond Services of California
to become the state's leading producers of surety bonds. |

California native John Rough attended Occidental College and Beverly
College of Law. Even before graduation, Rough was sharpening his
skills in the bonds and undertakings arena by working summers at
the Los Angeles County Courthouse for Golden State Bonding, his
family bond business. Endowed with the same entrepreneurial spirit
as his father, Rough established Bond Services of California in
1974. Twenty years later, he co-founded a second company, California
Civil and Judicial Bonding, which served to broaden the scope of
his expertise. Today, Rough is one of the few bond specialists with
such extensive connections in the California court system. |
