Meet Our Leadership Team

Jeff’s journey in real estate began early, he saved diligently throughout high school to purchase his first property at just 18 years old. Since then, he’s spent more than 35 years immersed in the industry. He got his start with a major mortgage finance company in his hometown of Appleton, Wisconsin, where he gained hands-on experience in financing, underwriting, and collections.

By 1993, Jeff had advanced to managing a bank branch, where he was entrusted with leading the bank’s wholesale mortgage operations across Wisconsin. Under his leadership, the division expanded into new markets. His passion for helping renters become homeowners inspired him to start his own mortgage brokerage firm in 1995. That company quickly became one of the largest brokerage and mortgage banking operations in Wisconsin.

In 2004, Jeff founded Home Path Financial with a focus on long-term growth and expansion, eventually moving into markets like Arizona. Narrowly navigating the 2008 housing crisis reinforced his belief in the importance of diversification and became the catalyst for his vision: a family of interrelated companies that could adapt to market shifts and support one another’s success. That mission drove Jeff to establish the Home Path Family of Companies.

As CEO of the Home Path Family, Jeff leads six dynamic businesses that work together to bring his vision to life—creating opportunity for those who rely on his leadership and helping more people achieve the dream of homeownership.
