EXPERIENCE 

With over 33 years of experience in education, Jeff brings a lifetime of wisdom, empathy, and leadership to his work with children, adolescents, and families. He began his career as a school counselor, where he quickly discovered a passion for supporting students through both academic and personal challenges. However, Jeff’s drive to make a broader, more systemic impact within the school environment led him to pursue a leadership role as a principal. In that role, he became a catalyst for positive change—creating inclusive school cultures, advocating for student and staff well-being, and promoting strong family-school partnerships.

EDUCATION

Jeff’s love for learning and education didn't stop with one degree. Motivated by a genuine passion for helping others and a curiosity for deeper knowledge, he pursued a Master of Science in Education, Counseling Education from UW–Platteville, following his Bachelor of Science in Education from UW–Whitewater. This commitment to continued learning shaped not only his professional expertise but also his personal philosophy: growth never ends, and learning is a lifelong journey.

His approach emphasizes building essential life skills—such as problem-solving, accountability, active listening, and communication—while creating a safe, stable environment for growth. Jeff brings a deep well of compassion, wisdom, and dedication to his current work supporting children, adolescents, and families. After retiring from a fulfilling career in public education, Jeff continues to follow his passion for helping others by offering support services rooted in empathy and connection. Whether he’s working with a child, teen, or family system, his approach is steady, compassionate, and grounded in decades of real-world experience.
