🔹 Meet the Club President Monday 🔹

This week, we're proud to introduce Jeff, President of the Rotary Club of Fairmont, WV.

A Fairmont native, Jeff has been involved with Rotary since 2022 and currently serves as President of the Rotary Club of Fairmont. His Rotary journey began long before joining the club, however, as he was a recipient of the prestigious Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholarship in 1997, an experience he describes as life changing.

Since becoming a Rotarian, Jeff has served two terms on his club's Board of Directors and chaired the scholarship committee. He values the lasting friendships and opportunities to serve alongside others who are dedicated to Rotary's motto of Service Above Self.

Professionally, Jeff is a West Virginia real estate broker, Realtor®, investor, and entrepreneur. He owns and operates a real estate brokerage and investment company focused on helping homeowners navigate difficult situations and has previously served as President of the Fairmont Board of Realtors. His commitment to community extends beyond his profession through service on the boards of Main Street Fairmont, the Fairmont Farmers Market, and the Marion County Pregnancy Resource Center. He is also co-owner of a local coffee shop and restaurant.

As club president, Jeff is most excited about bringing members and the community together, expanding the club's impact through meaningful service projects, welcoming new members, and developing future leaders.

Jeff resides in Fairmont with his wife and is the proud father of two adult sons.

Thank you, Jeff, for your dedication to Rotary, your community, and your commitment to creating positive change throughout Fairmont and beyond! 💙💛
