Starting his career in financial services in the brokerage business, Jeff realized that the commission compensation model was not in the client’s best interest, moved to a fee only model and started his own, independent Registered Investment Advisory firm in 1999, Best Advisory Services, LLC. Later he merged with another RIA firm to form Buckeye Wealth Management, LLC where he serves as President and Chief Operation Officer.
Jeff has held the respected Certified Financial Planner ™ certification since May 1996 and believes a financial plan is the foundation of every successful financial strategy, dream, and Ideal Life.

They are blessed with 3 children, a daughter who is a 1st grade teacher in the suburban Cincinnati school district of Forest Hills, a son who is a technology recruiter for Abercrombie and Fitch and a daughter who will be picking out colleges soon.
Members of the Vineyard Church of Columbus, they enjoy being a part of such a giving community of people. Jeff has coordinated the Financial Stewardship Ministry, started the Free Financial Clinic and hosted financial bible studies and budget workshops. Together, Kim and Jeff love to host small groups and work with the Marriage & Family Life Ministry mentoring and teaching.
