Jeff is a Marine Corps veteran, real estate and construction professional, and franchisee.  He has a passion for helping other veterans achieve their full civilian potential through small business ownership and franchising.  He believes we have the greatest fortune of living in the United States in the 21st century and should take full advantage of that opportunity.

 

While watching the events of September 11th unfold, Jeff resolved to join the military and fight those who wish to destroy our country and culture.  He was blessed to eventually join the Marine infantry and a battalion that deployed twice to Helmand Province, Afghanistan.  After fulfilling that years-long quest, he began his civilian career in production home building and developed an itch to start his own business.  And after 2 years bolstering his business credentials in graduate school, COVID arrived, giving him the perfect opportunity to buy into a fitness franchise.  He now seeks to spread knowledge of the beauty of the franchising model to other veterans who might not want the risk and burdens of starting a business from scratch.

 

Jeff graduated from the Naval Academy with a B.S. in Systems Engineering, focusing on robotics, and an M.B.A. from Columbia Business School, focusing on real estate and entrepreneurship.  He currently resides in South Carolina with his wonderful wife and 4 kids, splitting time between construction, franchising, and hockey.
