Jeff became a follower of Jesus Christ in 1995. Shortly thereafter, he found himself landscaping, praying, and seeking God's direction for his life. Half joking, he said "after what You have done for me, I just want to tell everyone about your grace! Maybe I'll become a preacher!" Unexpectedly, he sensed the Lord was saying, "That is exactly what I want you to do." In the months that followed, all doors of opportunity in his life closed, except the door to follow God into full-time service.
After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Ohio Christian University, Jeff pastored at Clearcreek Community Church and then served as an Associate Pastor at North Street Christian Church in Butler, Pennsylvania.
He became familiar with Pastor James MacDonald through a NANC conference and this led to learning about and resonating with the church-planting ministry of Harvest Bible Fellowship. Completing his residency in the Harvest Training Center, Jeff seeks to glorify the name of Jesus Christ by carrying out His command for evangelism and discipleship.
He and his wife Erin are raising two wonderful boys, Owen and Cade.
