His work has brought the mental health benefits of mindfulness and meditation to more than 100,000 people for free since 2003. Jeffrey has led free meditation for homeless teens, K-12 schools, adult and juvenile prisons, diabetes patients, senior centers, HIV support groups, sober living homes, Superior Court judges, and victims of domestic violence and human trafficking; and for the LGBT Community Center, San Diego Pride, Wounded Warriors and Active Military with PTSD, UCSD Medical Center, Susan G.

In 2005, he walked away from everything and moved to a Buddhist Monastery in Taiwan to live with monks for one year. He returned to San Diego in 2006 and helped open Dharma Bum Temple. Jeffrey approaches meditation simply as a daily practice of mindfulness laying the foundation for a happier and healthier life.
