As one of the founding partners of Ark Financial Group, Jeff brings extensive experience in developing financial solutions for business owners in real estate, construction, software, and other industries.

Even before his studies, Jeff spent his early years working in the family business founded by his grandfather in 1950; hiring his first financial advisor at 15 years old. Jeff’s upbringing of working in the family business influenced his decision to specialize in financial consulting.
