In 2001, after 23 years inside corporate HR (SR. Director Staffing and Placement – Kraft Foods & Global Staffing and Succession Management – Miller Brewing), it dawned on Jeff that he would be unfulfilled if he didn’t leave to pursue his dream of owning a business. It also occurred to Jeff that it was his fear of leaving that was holding him back, not the sophisticated programs that were keeping him comfortably retained.
Functioning for the first time as an entrepreneur career coach, Jeff acknowledged that he was perfectly content in his new work, highly resilient, naturally engaged and self-motivated.
Jeff was born and raised in West Virginia where he obtained his Bachelor’s Degree from
Glenville State College, and a Masters in Organizational Communication and Public Personnel
Administration from the University of New Mexico.
