Jeffrey is a highly motivated professional who is determined to always be the best and go after the best of everything that life has to offer.
He’s spent the last eight years working around the valley in the sports industry, having spent time in or working with each of the four major professional sports teams in the desert.
Jeffrey currently works in the Arizona Coyotes media relations department where he has spent the last six years of his time and has enjoyed every second of being a part of his favorite childhood team.
When the COVID-19 crisis began in March of 2020 and everyone went into quarantine, Jeffrey used his free time to attain his real estate license, which was an industry that always interested him. His grandmother is a long-time realtor in Phoenix and her passion for real estate gave him the inspiration to study and work in the industry.
The 29-year-old native of Phoenix, Arizona has a great passion for his hometown and loves to give back to his city. He currently works with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona and he earned the 2019 Arizona Coyotes community award for giving back and producing the most hours of community service among the entire Coyotes organization.
Jeffrey has spent his entire life in the great state of Arizona, specifically the North Phoenix area where he grew up and played basketball at Pinnacle High School. When Jeffrey isn’t working on selling or finding your dream home and setting up media hits for the Coyotes, you can find him spending his time with family and friends, golfing at one of the plethora of beautiful golf courses around Scottsdale (Troon is a favorite!) or giving back to charity.
