Jeffrey's Story
I graduated from the University of Fresno Pacific in California. After college I worked in the corporate world for 42 years. I worked as a Vice President for 20 years, but like many, I finally got tired of the "Big Corporate "Stuff"... (Nicer Word). I then started my own consulting and training firm in 2002. I have traveled the entire country and have lived in 6 states. I am presently living in Saint Paul Minnesota where I was President & CEO of Prophets for Business Inc. . I spent most of 2012 operating as the "Assistant to the Assistant" Deputy Campaign Manager for the Distinguished Senator Amy Klobuchar (D) in Minnesota. I will be closing down my business in July 2013 and retiring FOR GOOD. My wife and I purchased a condo out at Lake Phalen and she finally retired in 2019.
During my work career, I wrote and published two books, one business textbook in 2002 and one Political book in 2011, "The Extinction of the American Soul". My books are under my pen name...Jeffrey Lawrence (My Middle Name).
I have three grown children, Vallarie, Stephanie and Frankie. Two are married and I have two Grandsons, Sebastian and Malcolm from my daughter Stephanie. I also have a granddaughter, Charlie (2018) from my Son & His wife Rachel. Stephanie is an editor for EMC Publishers and was a Graduate of The University of Minneso...Expand for more
ta Minneapolis. Vallarie still lives in California and works for an Automotive company...a little like Dad (I guess) , as I spent much of my career in the Automotive Industry. My son Frankie Graduated from the Saint Paul Music Conservatory. He now owns his own music merchandise Company (Rockabilia) in the Twin Cities MN area, He is also a Musician (Drummer of course) and played in the Second ranked Band in Minnesota, "Culture Cry Wolf"...you can check out their album and Music Videos on YouTube. I still enjoy my favorite pastimes...running and playing the drums! However, my running is a "Bit Slower" than in my H.S. and College days and there are "few" bands that still play my kind of music, or let me play "theirs"! Either way, I am Way Slower in both!!! LOL
I have been married to Terry my bride for 41 years....41 years!...Those of you that know me,... "well" probably believe as I do....She MUST be a Saint! MANY of my best years were at Torrance High and The University of Fresno Pacific. In addition, I really must add that I spent most of my career loving my job.
I love to hear how everyone is doing and how their life has gone...although WE are never through writing our stories!!!
Write me anytime! Jeff B. (Yes. I am still the short guy...but have YET to be given the "short fat and Bald"label )...YET!...LOL!
