Uncommon Solutions to Common Problems™
Jeffrey is a seasoned executive entrepreneur with a non-linear/non-sequential
career. Jeffrey has traveled the paths of coach, mentor, doer, manager, seer,
owner, and out-of-the-box problem solver since he started his first business in
1950 at the age of 10…
Jeffrey has been learning for almost seventy years from success and
failure, loyal and false friends, brilliant advisors and inept charlatans. He
has been unjustifiably proud and properly humbled, right and wrong—
sometimes at the same moment.
Jeffrey is a valued contributor, friend, and advisor who speaks with forthrightness,
honesty, and integrity at all times and never with malice.
