Jeff strives to keep the cost of the programs fair to everyone concerned and manageable for Catholic parishes and groups. The prices listed below are recommended prices only. Groups with smaller budgets may negotiate for smaller fees. Groups with larger budgets may choose to offer more, which is a big help to the apostolate!
Online programs and curricula are priced individually. Prices for created online programs can be viewed for each program in the Classroom. Prices for tailored or comissioned programs are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
While his area of expertise is moral theology, Jeff speaks on a great variety of Catholic topics, and can tailor talks to your specific needs.
Jeff holds a master's degree in theological studies from the Institute for Religious and Pasotoral Studies (IRPS) out of the University of Dallas. This program has since moved to Ave Maria University and is called the Institute of Pastoral Theology (IPT). He was trained and mentored by such theological masters as Professor Douglas Bushman, Fr. Mitch Pacwa, Bishop Campbell, Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio, Dr. Edward Peters, Dr. Timothy Herrman, Christopher Ruff and Dr. Mark Lawery. Jeff was the valedictorian of his class and gave the commencement address.
Jeff taught at Columbus Catholic High School in Marshfield, WI, for ten years. In that time he created a moral theology class that has been praised by teachers, parents and students alike. He won two student-nominated teaching awards as well. As a teacher, Jeff's focus was always on the thought process, on critical thinking and on discovering the Truth.
Jeff is currently a stay-home father. He works part-time for the Diocese of La Crosse in the Office of Family Life (as the Natural Family Planning Educator). Jeff was instrumental in the creation of the Parent's Place website for the diocese. He and his wife also teach marriage preparation and natural family planning. Jeff is a freelance teacher and writer.
