MEET OUR FOUNDER - JEFF DIERCKS
Jeff's journey began in a small town just north of Indianapolis, Indiana. Growing up in the Midwest, he was deeply influenced by the values of hard work, humility, and perseverance. These principles became the foundation of his character and guided him throughout his life.
After graduating from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business with a degree in accounting, Jeff embarked on his professional career at KPMG Peat Marwick in Indianapolis. There, he honed his skills in overseeing audit and tax engagements and consulting on mergers and acquisitions. His dedication and expertise led him to pass the Certified Public Accountancy exam, marking a significant milestone in his career.
However, Jeff's ambitions extended beyond the confines of Indiana. Driven by a desire for more sunshine and a higher quality of life, he made a bold move to Tampa, Florida. At Tunstall Consulting, he thrived, providing strategic business planning, merger and acquisition services, and financial advisory to a diverse range of businesses. His efforts were instrumental in helping clients secure over $150 million in institutional financing.
In 1995, Jeff took on a new challenge as the Chief Operating Officer of a local family office. Here, he managed over $150 million in family assets, leveraging his expertise to guide the family’s wealth management and financial planning. His role was pivotal in the success of their restaurant chain and other ventures.
Two years later, in 1997, Jeff founded InTrust Advisors with a vision to help affluent families achieve their financial aspirations. His extensive experience and unwavering commitment to his clients quickly established him as a trusted advisor. Jeff’s approach was not just about managing wealth but about building lasting relationships and understanding the unique needs of each family he served.
Beyond his professional achievements, Jeff is a dedicated family man. He and his wife have two grown daughters, both adopted from China, and they share a deep bond. Jeff’s life is enriched by his love for cycling, gardening, hiking, and crafting homemade pizzas.
Jeff’s commitment to service extends into his philanthropic endeavors. He has served on the boards of various organizations, including Reborn Ministries, Inc., Messenger Films, Inc., A Door of Hope, and CCI. His contributions have made a significant impact on these organizations, reflecting his dedication to giving back to the community.
With over 30 years of experience as an investor and entrepreneur, Jeff continues to seek unique opportunities for both private and client funds. His keen eye for public and private business ventures and below-market real estate deals keeps him at the forefront of the industry. (See our FAQ in the Footer for more information on this)
