Professional speaking engagements

Jeff has been a sought-after public speaker since 2010. As a grassroots organizer, former candidate, political activist, and podcaster, Jeff brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to audiences across the nation. Writing the book Behind the Curtain in 2019 required a tremendous amount of research and investigative journalism. There is still a hunger for this kind of information, and a great need to fill in these knowledge gaps among voters. In 2021, the Legal Insurrection Foundation brought Jeff on to run CriticalRace.org. This position required a year’s worth of research into required training on Critical Race Theory, DEI, and related efforts on college campuses across America. Jeff speaks on investigative journalism, indoctrination in education, media, messaging, strategy, and grassroots organizing. Political radio hosts nationwide book Jeff frequently as a guest, and often ask him to guest host. In 2022, Leadership Institute added Jeff to their Speakers Bureau, which sends subject matter experts to college campuses around the country to inspire new young conservative leaders. Here’s a talk Jeff gave to the Young Republicans of Oregon in February 2020 (starting at the 4:11 mark):
