Jeff, maintains his position as a Mortgage Loan Officer in Santa Barbara. He loves the Santa Barbara community, and has quickly established himself as one of the most successful loan officers in the country.
While studying economics, Jeff was particularly impressed by the cultural and economic effects of microfinance in developing countries. He is currently combining his experience in finance and the Spanish language with his background as an endurance coach for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's nonprofit campaign, Team in Training, to create a program that will bring young and retired professionals on "PhilAdventures" to Cuzco, Peru.

The program is capped off by a 4-day Machu Picchu hike.
