FROM YOUNG & SCRAPPY- TO MATURE & CLASSY
passionate about
inspiring others
One of Jeff’s greatest joys in his success has been the opportunity to give back, both to the local communities where his companies operate and also to the clients and the industries that have helped to make him so successful. He is actively involved in local fundraising and community service, proudly serves on the board of directors for several associations at a local and national level, and donates regularly to many charitable organizations that he holds dear to his heart.
Jeff is proud to have invested in several start-ups with some incredibly exciting brands. These partnerships have not only provided him a way to re-invest his earnings, more importantly he is able to invest in people and causes he believes in.
Michael Jordan once said "Talent wins game, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." While Jeff would happily talk your ear off about basketball, this quote applies more to his employees than to his love of sports. Early in his career as a CEO, he realized he’s only as strong as his team. Below he shares just a sampling of the awards he has been fortunate enough to receive with the help of his team.
