Jeff was born in New York and moved to San Jose, CA when he was nine years old. He enjoyed growing up in a church-going family, but personally received Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior while attending camp at the age of 13.
Since that time, Jeff has enjoyed an amazing adventure following Jesus into youth ministry, small group development, church planting and most recently developing a unique regional church planting ministry called The ARM Network.
Jeff is thrilled to join the Lakeside team and his heart is to reach the lost in our community and to the ends of the earth through various means including helping people share their personal faith stories to starting new faith communities. Another passion of Jeff’s is to help Lakeside continue to be a resource to other ministries in the region who also want to be “world-changers” by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ!
Jeff and his wife Heather met while attending Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and have been married since 1991. They enjoy their primary ministry of parenting three boys. Jeff is passionate about his family, devours books, is most inspired while backpacking above tree line equipped with a pen and journal, gets a rush out of March Madness every year (still has a dream to attend a NCAA Final Four tournament), and appreciates fine art…Star Wars, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Braveheart to name a few!!
But most importantly, Jeff is devoted to His Master, His King and is committed to spending his life to the end of making His name more famous, the Name above all Names, Jesus Christ.
