Jeff Ford came from a family of educators, and loves the education environment. After his mom taught him how to read as his teacher in elementary school, he took courses from his dad, an Economics professor, before completing his degree in Economics at USC. After a successful corporate automotive career, including Lexus, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, he left the corporate world to start his own business. After recently selling the business, he volunteered for six months to teach and mentor college graduates seeking to launch business start-ups in North Africa. He is inspired now to apply his corporate background and passion for education with The College Tour.
