Jeff’s wife Ashley grew up spending every summer in Oceanside, where her father had owned a home since 1957. After her father’s passing, Jeff and Ashley purchased her family’s home. They believe Oceanside is perhaps the last of the authentic family communities in Southern California, and that the residents deserve a beach as much as residents in Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach or San Clemente.

Jeff and his wife, Ashley, have their primary residence in Manhattan and have four adult children, three of whom live there. Jeff has been involved in non-profit work at UC Berkeley in various capacities for many years and was Chairman of the Board of The Phoenix House for five years.

Jeff brings to SOS a positive attitude and good listening skills, a strong work ethic, well developed financial analysis skills, a willingness to reach out and engage allies and potential allies to find common ground, and experience crafting complex messages to get buy-in from stakeholder groups which may have differing priorities.
