His work bridges the gap between science and service, delivering scalable solutions that drive individual resilience and agency-wide operational performance.
At the National Command and Staff College, Jeff serves as both a senior executive and faculty member, guiding elite programs that turn pioneering theory—like the MAGNUS OVEA model—into operational impact.
