Jeff Sandefer: Join us this Thursday @ 2pm in the Kirkham Auditorium!

Jeff Sandefer lives a dual life as an entrepreneur and a teacher. Named by Business Week as one of the top Entrepreneurship professors in the United States, he has accomplished much. Please join CEO on Thursday January 20, 2011 @ 2pm in the Kirkham Auditorium on the BYU-Idaho campus. 

As an entrepreneur, Jeff founded his first successful business at age 16.  His third business, Sandefer Offshore, started at age 27, returned $500 million in profits on a million dollar investment -- in less than four years. Recently he sold Sandefer Capital Partners, an oil and gas investment firm that held several billion dollars in assets.

Business may be his day job, but Jeff’s passion is teaching. While at the University of Texas, students awarded Jeff with the school’s Outstanding Teacher five times and he was selected  by BusinessWeek as one the top Entrepreneurship professors in the United States.

Eight years ago Jeff and a group of successful entrepreneur-teachers started the Acton School of Business, named after Lord Acton, the Victorian scholar of freedom. 

The school’s grueling 100-hour a week, one year MBA program has won numerous awards, including having the Princeton Review – the gold standard for business school rankings – name Acton’s students as the “most competitive” MBA’s in the nation and rank its faculty in the top three in the country – above Harvard, Stanford and Wharton.

Jeff is a graduate of the Harvard Business School, where he has served for over a decade on the school’s governing committees; and serves on a number of boards, most targeted in defense of America’s freedoms.
