Jeff grew up in a small town just North of Indianapolis, Indiana. His Midwest roots instilled in him an unwavering work ethic, a quiet humility and a pragmatic belief that hard work and perseverance pay off in the long run.
He started work right out of college for KPMG Peat Marwick in Indianapolis overseeing audit and tax engagements and as a consultant on mergers and acquisition transactions. When he had met the Indiana experience requirement, he took and passed the Certified Public Accountancy exam.

The family, developers of a successful restaurant chain, relied heavily on his expertise in both the day-to-day management of their wealth and as the facilitator of their ongoing planning.
Two years later in 1997, he founded InTrust Advisors with the primary goal of assisting affluent families and family owned businesses achieve their financial goals and dreams. Through his extensive experience in financial and business consulting and his dedication to the interests of his clients, Jeff is a close, trusted advisor to those who work with him.
