Personal

Jeff is married to Jessica Salazar (Managing Partner with Northwestern Mutual in Jacksonville), and they have three children, Austin, Jaxson and Julianna. His life truly revolves around being the best husband and father he can.

Jeff is passionate about helping raise awareness and support for childhood cancer by serving through The Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. After his son Austin was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2013, he discovered this passion to help raise support that will eventually find a cure for cancer and to help give back, just as so many helped his family in time of need. Jeff encourages young people to discover their “Why” and to pursue a purpose that is bigger than themselves and stay committed to that purpose even in the face of adversity, criticism, and self-doubt. Jeff's goals for the next 5 years include growing to become a better leader and a “maker of champions” in the community.

Additionally, he and his team of 4 hope to help a minimum of 250 new families on their journey toward financial security. In Jeff’s downtime he enjoys spending time with his family, working out, and reading self-development books.

Lending a hand in my community.

As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)

ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
