Jeff labels himself as a Missionary Writer. What does he mean by being a Missionary Writer? His definition of the type of writer that is outlined in his writing manifesto, Missionary Writing is, "To be a writer that has a message so compelling that I am willing to sacrifice all for the message to be heard."
Jeff utilizes his twenty years experience as a Pastor/Church Planter as well as his years in mainstream corporate America at such organizations as Navistar International Transportation and Rubbermaid to share practical, biblical truths that can be implemented personally and in the life of churches and business organizations. It was in the corporate setting that he started to understand and implement vision and leadership.
Jeff serves as the Cleveland City Coordinator for Send North American with the North American Mission Board in Cleveland and has established church planter training centers that focuses on the church planting in the Cleveland Metro area. He is married to his wonderful wife Julie, and they have two awesome daughters, Sarah and Emily, a wonderful son-in-law Matt, a great grandson, Caleb and beautiful granddaughter, Ellie.
