JEFF's BIO
Jeff is an internationally recognized archery coach who is dedicated to developing whole and healthy human beings. His ‘person first’ philosophy infuses every aspect of his programs and its impact is apparent in his athletes.
Although he’s one of the top coaches in the country winning multiple awards including USA National Coach of the Year, and producing many successful archers on a national and world level, his focus is on building up the person first and foremost. He considers becoming a great archer to be one of the many amazing side benefits of his program.
Before becoming a full time archery coach, Jeff lived a lifetime in the IT world, starting as a successful independent programmer and moving through several iterations of leadership roles at some of the largest and most innovative financial trading firms in the world including Global Head of Development for MF Global. Being a part of, and building, successful teams and people around the world has been a major theme throughout his life.
Jeff’s philosophies with helping his students develop into successful and confident people are inspired by some of his own childhood struggles which often left him feeling isolated. His open and transparent style of communication with his students helps them to be able to expand their own comfort zones.
Jeff’s own leadership style was greatly influenced by various inspirational role models who taught him to not only surround himself with great people, but to also do whatever
