William Geppert

Will Geppert has been vice president and general manager of Cox Communications San Diego since 1996, and it doesn't look as if he'll be changing channels anytime soon. 

Cox Communications is the largest telecommunications company in Southern California and the fourth largest in the nation.

Geppert has more than 23 years in the telecommunications industry, but this GM turns off the TV to make a connection with the community.

He has served as chairman of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp., chairman of the Union of Pan Asian Communities annual fundraising dinner and past chair of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the University of San Diego Board of Trustees, Rotary and past chairman of the California Cable & Telecommunications Association and much more, finding it hard to say ‘no' to a charity or organization that needs this cable guy's help.
