111: I AM... CLIMBING MOUNTAINS!

Jeff Higgins grew up in the Cincinnati area. On April 6, 1983 in the Milford High School cafeteria he met Shelly and they built a wonderful life together. They were married and had three wonderful daughters who grew up and started families of their own. Today seven grandchildren bring Shelly and Jeff endless joy. (There is something special about grandchildren.) Jeff has spent his working life almost entirely in the industry of making seasonings for foods like potato chips, meats, and dips. You have probably eaten something he has been a part of creating. In 2002 Jeff boot strapped his own company and it has been a twenty-year overnight success story. Living a life filled with purpose seems to have always been a part of Jeff’s DNA since he was eleven. Together with Shelly they enjoy making meaning a part of their endeavors. They invested over twenty years supporting and running youth programs. They have served the hungry in their community, in the US, and internationally. In 2016 Jeff summited Mount Rainier and in the process raised over $25,000.00 to build a school for special needs children in rural Guatemala. Jeff and Shelly try to employ a motto they have: “If you are going to do something big, attach it to something bigger.” That is why the purpose statement for their company is “Serve People”. Today Jeff enjoys talking to audiences about his experiences in an effort to help people lead better, more fulfilling lives.
