As a young entrepreneur, Jeffrey embarked on his mission to discover what he is in this world to do, at the same time understanding his mission in life is pretty simple, to change the world by inspiring and empowering people to live at their highest potential while using their strengths in the greatest service to the world.
In a previous life, He further held numerous management positions with fortune 500 companies managing multiple facility- national and international clients with staff consisting of 300 plus by the age of 21, during which time he successfully created educational resources for youth and adult audiences to aid in their pursuit of personal growth and professional development. Jeffrey is particularly fond of gathering and crafting stories that teach transform and inspire others. With irreverent humor and an innate sense of the absurd, Jeff's talks and writings help people see how needlessly complex and stressful our lives can become. He has also delivered career and personal counseling to hundreds of individuals as a professional career counselor.
Throughout his career, Jeffrey has often found that people with strong spiritual underpinnings are more successful in their business and personal lives.

He came to see the Bible, the major inspirational treatise for the majority of America’s citizens, as a wellspring of leadership wisdom and inspiring “case studies” for modern business.
Before leaving from his management position to pursue a long standing dream of making major changes in the world, he successfully held Senior Management roles as Manager of Operations.
