“I am excited to lead Family Care Network, which has a long history of service and dedication to serving adults, children, and families living on the Central Coast for over 36 years.

Outside of his professional role, Jeff and his wife, Sue, are proud parents to three sons: Clayton (25), Cole (21), and Connor (19). Jeff and Sue happily relocated to the Central Coast, which has been a special getaway spot for the couple throughout their 32 years of marriage. Apart from traveling and spending time with family, Jeff enjoys woodworking, hiking, golf, cooking, baking bread, and entertaining with his wife. In this new season of their lives, Jeff and Sue look forward to cultivating new relationships with the local faith community, neighbors, and coworkers.
