Jeff spent his childhood amid the tumbleweeds of Bakersfield before embarking on a global journey across four continents and seventeen homes with his wife and two children. From the rugged landscapes and people of Aberdeen, Scotland to the vibrant culture in Australia, with closer to home locales of Texas and Louisiana, each place left a lasting impact. Living in Angola was transformative, fostering a profound love for the resilient Angolan people and offering a new perspective on Africa.

Jeffrey, with advanced academic degrees in engineering, has transitioned to a life of global travel, community service, competitive tennis, jewelry making, and Bible study, relishing each day’s new adventure.
