Episode Resources: Stimpack 43 Days to Freedom About Our Guest Jeff is a decorated US Army veteran, the founder (now board member) of a $1B+ global clinical research technology company and has served as a founder and leader within several Haiti based NGOs that have driven measurable progress in Haiti. Jeff's first experience working in Haiti was fighting child trafficking, this experience was so deeply moving that he decided to learn to speak Haitian Creole and fully committed his time and attention to serving Haiti's most vulnerable and forgotten people. His team has worked alongside Haiti's non-governmental organizations, faith leaders and community stakeholders to fund, manage, and contribute to projects in reforestation, water and food security, education, and infrastructure deployment aimed at improving the quality of life for the neediest Haitian communities. Despite these significant efforts, Jeff faced a harrowing challenge that tested his dedication and determination, during a large food distribution mission, Jeff was kidnapped by a Haitian gang and held for 43 torturous days. This experience served to further his resolve to help Haitians rescue themselves from the ruthless gangs holding them captive and provide them with the tools to maintain their freedoms.
