His humor is appropriate and ample. His experience working in schools gives him a special insight, a special link with our school business officials. He was rated the best part of our conference the evaluations. If you book Jeff, you will be delighted”

On the last day of a long conference, Jeff speaks to a mass of finance officers, not the most happy-go-lucky group of individuals. His remarkable storytelling revived this crowd into joyful human beings. They especially loved his mosquito bite narrative from the previous night, where he lathered himself with hair conditioner instead of lotion. What a hoot!! Jeff has an extraordinary gift to present life lessons not only humorously, but inspirationally. He inspired US – he will inspire you.
