Chapter Leadership

Jeff Crowder

Jeff was born, raised, and schooled in East Tennessee. Jeff and his wife Serena reside in a small home in the country; striving to live a more simple life. They have two adult daughters, including one who lives in Alaska. Jeff is president of Crowder RV Center, a locally owned 50 year old business. He belongs to C12- a Christian business owners group that strives to build great businesses for a greater purpose. Jeff has been involved with Souly Business for over 10 years, and attributes much of his spiritual growth to his involvement in the ministry.

David Jarrett

David is married and father of 2 grown boys and one grandchild. He works from home developing software for Frederick County Virginia government. He enjoys fly fishing in the mountains of northeast Tennessee. David says that working from home sometimes robs him of the comradery and the encouragement of other men. Yet God has used Souly Business to help build some of his closest friends and mentors. David believes that this strong bond with other men is vital to his spiritual growth. He’s been attending Souly Business events for over 5 years.

He is an avid motorcycle rider and recharges by riding his Harley Davidson with anyone who can join him. Mark attended his first Souly Business in 2003 and has been involved in the East Tennessee Chapter since 2006. The transformation that I have seen take place in the lives of men like myself at the Souly Retreats is why I am so passionate about the mission of this organization.
