I'm Jeff, a social innovator based in Dallas, TX. 

Professionally | I spent the first half of my 8 year career navigating various sales roles within Fortune 500 companies and start ups. I've since transitioned into the data analytics side where I get to spend most of my time focused on sales strategy and most passionately, consumer insights. I'm currently in a senior, strategic analyst role at Anheuser-Bush, where I am also the Regional Lead for our company's Black Employee Resource Group. 

From Nap, With Love | I was born and raised in the Midwest in Indianapolis, IN, and although I've not lived there since high school, I've remained connected and passionate about centering it in my endeavors and bringing it to the national stage. 

Be Nimble | Thus, alongside my co-founder/cousin Kelli Jones, we founded Be Nimble Co, in order to expose the Black community to opportunities in tech + entrepreneurship.  We are most known for our FNWL Newsletter and our foundations annual Pardi Gras Ball, which is a millennial driven gala whose proceeds go to Black start ups. Foundationally, the most of our work has been on the ground building an eco-system which creates pathways and support for Black founders and creatives to grow and scale their innovative vision. 

Indianapolis has a rich history of Black innovation and entrepreneurship dating back to the old Indiana Avenue district which Madam C.J. Walker called home, and it's a passion to reclaim that history by inspiring and creating the next generation to scale out of "Nap" and cities like it. Economic Freedom is our only hope!

Hobbies + Social Impact | I love history, art + fashion, sneakers, hooping, running, traveling and creating social experiences for others. When I think about living out my purpose, it is rooted in merging my passions with what I feel is my purpose in serving others. I see how important and prominent Black American culture is for the world and I'm inspired to help us capitalize on it to build wealth and health for our community!

Not 4 Resale | This is about that merge of passion and purpose for me. I'm excited to share my passion and interests here and leverage my shop to raise awareness for various social impact endeavors that inspire me.
