Over the past 15 years, my passion has been as an entrepreneurial enthusiast; creating and developing business opportunities involving home ownership, credit counseling, and buyer education within the urban core of Kansas City.  Since 2006, I have been a Heartland Tourism Volunteer as a Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA); go to www.visitKC.com.  People have often referred to me as a ‘human map quest', if you have a question about KC, "just ask Jeff."  In 2008, I am recognized in KC Magazine, July issue, by Five Star Real Estate Agents for "BEST IN CLIENT SATISFACTION" in the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan area; go to www.fivestarprofessional.com.
