"Jeff has the capacity to create a magical journey for people"

Guy Gooding, Director of Student Programs, Mountain View College, Dallas

Author of "The Silverback Gorilla Syndrome" a primer for Twenty First Century healthy masculinity, Jeff offers groups of men and women a humorous and insightful look into our often denied and hidden wild side, in pursuit of greater creativity, health, spontaneity, and integrity.

His presentation style includes introducing provocative topics through myth, poetry and story, then pursuing personal insight through open questions and group dialogue.

Whether in your board room or scouting Lava Falls on the Colorado River, Jeff brings a sense of sure footedness, humor, poetry, and mastery to his craft.

His grounded perspective grows out of a lifetime of wilderness adventure, where teamwork and communication become essential tools for survival as well as expeditionary success.

"My mission is to sing you and I through the blue green gate of Earth's Soul. My life and work reflect this yearning for the burning breathing leg aching mountain ascent, muddy water in the face waves coming over my raft, and simple count of shovels of sand and gravel into the cement mixer. It is my intent to bring these simple life affirming experiences into my work with groups of all kinds. This site is an attempt to share my mission with you."
