Jeff has been a New Perspective team member for six years. He has a Bachelors in Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Psychology and a Masters in Business. He also has a degree in construction management with 15 years’ experience. Prior to New Perspectives, he has worked in mental health, assisted in drug court, and ran an after-school skills group with 2nd and 3rd graders, as well as a facilitator of a parenting class with DCFS. Jeff shared that he has always loved working with people and even when working in construction, he was always the one assigned to work with employees that were struggling. He also has a 15-year-old son with level 2 ASD which equips him with so much appreciation for working in this field. Jeff has a unique gift of holding space with our population whether teaching life skills, having them assist with construction projects or just holding space when they struggle.
