Jeff founded The Wealth Stewards in 2017 and is the managing partner of the practice. Now in his 21st year in the industry, Jeff desires to serve a vital role in driving outcomes on behalf of the successful families and business owners that he works with. His role is to conduct deep and ongoing discovery regarding the needs, wants and wishes of his clients. Then he works diligently to collaborate with clients and other trusted professionals to help clients close the gap between where they are today and where they want to be. Jeff’s passion for serving successful families, especially family business-owners, stems from his upbringing.

Prior generations of his family owned a multi-generational business that was next door to the house he grew up in. This experience showed Jeff first-hand the benefits and pitfalls of all that comes with family businesses.

Jeff received a bachelor’s degree from Boston University in 1999 and has been striving to better understand how to serve clients ever since. He’s completed extensive coursework in business exit and succession planning and obtained his accredited investment fiduciary certification (AIF®) in 2019. In 2022, Jeff was named to the Raymond James Leaders Council* and serves on the firm-wide Practice Intelligence Advisory Council. He’s an active community servant, with his current focus on serving the Chandler area as a life member of the Chandler Compadres. He lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Elena, his daughter Mallory and son Everett. In the middle of the Arizona summer, you can find them all at their second home on Cape Cod, living out Jeff’s boyhood dream to have a home at the beach.
