Jefferey's Story

I grew up in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts with my parents and twin brother. When my brother and I started elementary school, he quickly mastered reading and writing and I didn’t. There were so many rules to learn. English is not the easiest, most obvious language to learn--even if you are a native American. I felt deeply isolated. 

My parents were worried and wanted to help. My mother spent countless hours with me -- helping me learn to read and write. I remember how she would create her own flashcards to show me the letters over and over until I learned the sounds associated with the letters. 

This experience shaped the way I viewed the English language and how important it is to find any way you can to overcome adversity -- no matter how large or small.

Eventually, I got the hang of reading and writing. Then, I developed a mastery of the spoken language. 

I graduated in the honors program in high school, majored in acting in college, and then graduated from one of the most rigorous MFA acting programs in the country. I began an acting career in New York City where I’ve stared in numerous well reviewed plays and films. It all started with a little encouragement from my mom.

Founding Speak Clear 

My love for performing expanded to a love for teaching as well.  I taught courses in public speaking and articulation at Bronx Community College of the City University of New York and St. John's University. I worked with students from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, aiding students to become engaged, audience-focused speakers, and developed an affinity for helping students to speak English more fluently without losing the use of their accent-of-origin. 

Speak Clear Communications was founded in 2005 because I wanted to bring my love of the spoken language and performing to the business community. Speak Clear's executive clients have included Telefonica Inc., Deloitte, the Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the French-U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Conde Nast, TedXNavesink, and Femgineer.  

I’m grateful I found my voice. Let’s work together to help you find yours! 

When Jeff isn't working on Speak Clear he spends time with his wife and two daughters, practices yoga, hikes and directs films.
