About Jeffrey Baumgartner
I have had the pleasure to live a much varied life. Over the years,and in approximately chronological order, I have been an infant, a child, a student, a teacher, an artist, a copywriter, an entrepreneur, a magazine columnist, an author of four books, a keynote speaker and, most importantly a father of two awesome sons (incidentally, we were each born in a different continent). They are grown up now. One is a mathematician. One is an AI engineer. Both are brighter than me, I am proud to say.
I have lived and worked in three countries on three continents.
I have learned and been inspired by each of the places I have lived. I have travelled widely for pleasure and business.
Along the way, I have seen a lot, learned a lot and have been inspired by so many remarkable people in so many different places.
It is these inspirations that have fuelled my overactive imagination and, for no particular reason, I would like to share some of my thoughts with you.
Now, I live in Belgium mostly. My partner, Ira, lives here part time an in the Netherlands part time and on the road with me often.
