Jeff is an established business professional with nearly 30 years of experience in sales, marketing, and sales management. The majority of his career has been spent in the pharmaceutical industry where he grew several mature brands and launched multiple new brands both in the US and internationally. After his tenure in marketing, Jeff moved into pharmaceutical sales management where he managed a sales team of over 75 associates.
During this time, Jeff saw a growing need in men’s healthcare, and began to focus his study in the area of men’s sexual health. The most obvious area of significance was in the arena of erectile dysfunction given the enormous numbers of men who suffer with the condition yet were unwilling to discuss the topic — even with their physician. Beyond this, the studies around low-testosterone and the growing population of men who were afflicted with low-t also garnered Jeff’s attention. Given that many men are often reluctant to see a doctor on a consistent basis, especially when it comes to erectile dysfunction, Jeff sought to de-stigmatized the topic to open the door for men to talk about their overall health situation. This began the road to evaluate how this might be done in a clinical environment.
In 2014 Jeff and his brother, Jason, opened the first Rocky Mountain Men’s Clinic in Denver, Colorado. Since that time, the organization has grown quickly to multiple affiliated practice locations nationwide and treated tens of thousands of men. Jeff’s focus is to create a comfortable environment for men to get the highest level of medical care and outcomes while at the same time receiving a true “five-star” experience.
Jeff is proud to be able to support men through the challenging topic of their sexual health. It is important to him to let men know that there are treatment options that can dramatically change their lives for the better.
Jeff received his MBA in Marketing and Operations from Vanderbilt University, Owen Graduate School of Management.
