Jeff’s roots are from a nice suburban neighborhood on the East Coast, but has since chosen to make his home in an inner-city gang-affiliated neighborhood in Denver, where he mentors young men in those gangs. Before this, Jeff went to Eckerd College for Business and raced sailboats on the sailing team. After school, Jeff, against wise counsel of getting a “real job,” bought a 1-way ticket to Rwanda. That year in East Africa teaching in the remote villages and helping Rwandans start businesses shaped his perspective and future profoundly. After his time in Africa, Jeff moved to Denver and has been a part of the community for more than 10 years, working with mostly fatherless, gang-affiliated youth, primarily in either the Bloods or the Crips gangs. In addition to his passion for mentorship, Jeff has a passion for business and is the founder and CEO of Slant Marketing, a digital marketing company, and a partner in GWP, a Real Estate investment fund. Balancing business with his deep fulfillment in mentoring, Jeff cherishes a life that seamlessly blends passion and purpose. Married to his beautiful wife, Carly, Jeff’s story is a testament to living a life with a servant’s heart.
