Collaboration & Co-Creating

Jeff is a collaborator and a creative thinker. He has been involved with initiatives that embrace community enhancement & co-creating projects that share the common value of sustainability for those that are most vulnerable.

Over the past twenty-five years, his mentorship with Dr. Michael and Dr. Ann Wilson have helped Jeff define and embrace a philosophical stance that defines his counseling approaches and create a value base for how he works with people.

Jeff’s history with the Phoenix Society dates back to 1993 and he has watched their program develop into one of the most innovative learning communities in North America.

These past six years, Jeff has been working closely with the two of them, evolving a body of work directed with advancing collaboration, both locally and globally, with a focus on social justice that advances the social well being of individuals and communities.
