Jeff Pierce – Recovering from Near Despair

Overcomers Overcoming

Jeff Pierce has experienced many devastating consequences in his life, including bankruptcy, loss of a business, his wife’s death from cancer, and recovering from a dysfunctional family. Jeff was born in Binghamton, NY, and, due to his father’s employment, attended twelve schools during his 13 years of formal education. Due to the extensive moving, Jeff was always the “tall, skinny new kid on the block” in school. Therefore, Jeff was the recipient of name-calling and belittling before it was even known as “bullying.” In addition to being an author, Jeff is a speaker and inspirational youth leader who believes in instilling positive values, beliefs, and principles in doing something that one loves, which can lead to developing habits that will create everlasting positive results in one life. Through Jeff’s life experience and 35 years as a private business owner and corporate business leader, he recognized the importance of an individual’s values and beliefs toward achieving success and reaching one's dreams, desires, and goals.
