permission to pivot

After a half century unexpressed, and as an example of never too late to pivot into purpose, Jeff made a legendary leap at age 51 from corporate serial entrepreneur to become a first-time “clothes have codes” designer & "floetic" spoken word artist.

A 35-year, avante-guarde, veteran marketer in the commercial world, Jeff pivoted in 2016 from being a self-described “revenue monkey” for others visions and creations to the creator of his own for the first time. Jeff is the designer and creator of regenerative fashion line, One Golden Thread, devoted to a philosophy to honor that which is golden in people and the Planet.  

Jeff cut his story-telling teeth in the late 80s and early 90’s and he was privileged to hone his craft through deep partnerships with icons like Virgin, Apple, Rolling Stone, The Grammys, Sony Music, and Whole Foods. In recognition of Jeff’s creative ingenuity and industry achievements, he garnered the Trendsetter Award (2012) as a business innovator, and earned a spot on the Counselor Hot List for creativity (2015). 

Tasting success yet unfulfilled after a life spent amplifying other people’s visions, and as an example of never-too-late to answer the calling of a dream, Jeff lept with no net to became a first time clothing designer at age 52. As the architect of his own creative vision, the “regeneration revolution” expressed as a Fashion Proactivist. His “lovestyle” clothing brand with “unisexy” minimalist designs derives its fabric from “super nature” beech trees and is committed to planting a tree for every product sold, thus making a net positive impact for the Planet. The clothing, however, is merely an alibi for a deeper reminder story: That each of us is golden inside, connected by our nature as One Golden Thread.

Jeff also continues to lift benevolent brands and individuals through “Consculting,” his creative brand language mastery aimed at uncovering the gold for mission-driven livelihoods and lives. Jeff is a regular desired guests on personal transformation podcasts.

Jeff considers his greatest life achievement mentoring for a decade two at-risk teens as part of America’s Big Brother’s Program, personally recognized as “Bay Area Big Brother of the Year” (2011).
