February 25, 2026 at 3:08 pmI met Jeff through an Alzheimer’s support group that I attend. I can’t say enough good things about his positive approach, understanding demeaner and ability to distill an issue to a common sense and caring observation and/or suggestion. He leads the group with an all inclusive vibe where everyone is free to share their thoughts without judgement. I look forward to attending this group every month, and miss it when I can not attend, and this is because of Jeff’s approach 100%! Surfing has been a topic woven into many group sessions and it is obvisously one of Jeff’s passions. I can only imagine how positive of an experience he will make Surf & Solace for all that are fortunate to partake in its program.
