About Me


Come check out my website! www.jeffbritton.com

Born & raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, I've come to realize that life is truly ours for living. I believe the only way to truly live is by creating new adventures each day, and by following our passions ... Mahatma Ghandi once said "You must be the change you wish to see in the world," and that's my passion, being the change ... making a difference. Since university I've striven to create change within the world around me in my career as a professional motivational speaker and leadership consultant. Working primarily with secondary school and university students, my programs have focused on empowering audience members to take hold of their lives and move towards discovering their potential happiness by living life to the fullest.
Currently I'm experiencing the greatest adventure of my life ... alongside my girlfriend Jenny, I'm spending four months in eastern Africa where we'll be volunteering with a number of small orphanages and education centers mostly in Tanzania and hopefully also in Kenya. As "freelance humanitarians" we're hoping to help with necessary renovations to buildings, to assist with educational programs, and to provide a safe and caring environment for children in need. We also look forward to providing much needed resources to community members and villagers located throughout Tanzania and Kenya.
To help raise the funds necessary to make these projects a reality, we have created the "Climbing 4 Kenya" fundraising initiative, and have trained to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, and the tallest free-standing mountain rise in the world. For more information, or to help sponsor the initiatives in eastern Africa, please feel welcome to visit our website at www.climbing4kenya.com .
I truly believe that "the time is NOW" to begin chasing our dreams and following our passions ... the result is always pure happiness!

My Interests

I chase dreams and try to make a difference in our world ... I believe the youth are our future, and deserve all the support we can offer ... I live with passion ... I'm an entrepreneur, I'd rather push myself than be pushed by someone else who doesn't understand where I'm coming from and where I'm going ... I enjoy writing, reading, fitness (the gym & running) as well as sports (especially baseball, volleyball and ultimate frisbee), and I've been trying really hard to learn the guitar.



I'd like to meet:
