Jeff first heard the concepts of "true charity" during the launch of the True Charity Initiative in 2012 at the inaugural
Leadership Forum, after which he and his wife joined the TCI Education Committee. He and his wife relocated to Tokyo, Japan, the following year to work for the Department of Defense Education Activity but continued serving at a distance through designing multimedia to promote the philosophy of TCI and its events.
In 2020, Jeff and his family returned to Joplin, where he is now Director of Education for TCI. He earned his Master of Education in Information Science and Learning Technologies with the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2013.
