She and her husband, Dean, dedicated over 8 years to fostering teens and continue to support youth who have aged out of care.

Meet Jeff Petersen!

Transworld Business Advisors of East Texas specializes in the confidential marketing and valuation of main street businesses. They are also active with larger concerns that are better suited for a M&A environment.

Jeff Petersen was the President and Founder of Coal Creek Consulting, a firm that specializes in project management and infrastructure development for wireless telecommunication providers. During his years with Coal Creek, he grew the company to over twenty-five employees, and the company remains the gold standard in Arizona for wireless services. Jeff sold the company and attempted to retire in 2018.

Jeff now lives in East Texas. He has a love of the outdoors that includes backpacking, hunting, hiking and winter sports. Jeff exhibits extreme dedication and perseverance through personal challenges such as running 14 half-marathons in one year, hiking rim-to-rim-to-rim across the Grand Canyon (47 miles) in one day, skiing across Finland (270 miles) in 7 days and riding a mountain bike from Durango, Colorado to Moab, Utah. Jeff is also a very mediocre guitar player and a terrible singer.

Jeff's involvement with Transworld Business Advisors began when he contracted them to assist in the sale of Coal Creek Consulting. The transaction went so smoothly that he entered into an agreement to work with Transworld in the East Texas market. Jeff is committed to "Good Deals for Good People".

Come meet Jeff at the Tyler Referral Network at the Connections Cafe at Green Acres at 7:45 on Wednesday!
