ABOUT Jeff

Jeff’s favorite movie is “Jerry Maguire.” Is it because, as our CFO, he relates to “show me the money,” Jerry’s favorite phrase? Nope. It’s because Jerry always does what’s right, even when it means going against the grain.

Jeff’s job responsibilities include many of our financial functions, including accounts payable and accounts receivable. But his favorite thing about working at The Prouty Project is being with the great people here. Jeff also takes great pride in helping other small businesses with their accounting and business administration needs via his own small business: Knack’s Accounting Service.

A classic- and antique-car enthusiast and a wannabe racecar driver, Jeff owns a 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, which he occasionally displays at local car shows. He’s also active in the Knights of Columbus. Jeff has three adult children and became a Grandpa in 2023. Regardless of who he’s with or what he’s doing, he tries to keep this J. M. Barry quote top of mind: “Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting a battle.”
