About
Jeff Hastings (born January 18, 1966) is a published American author, business guru and Harvard University student. As the current C.E.O. of ContractCoach.com, his agency helps thousands of small businesses around the world create a better business. Using data analytics, statistical modeling and artificial intelligence (AI) pattern recognition, his company creates new and exciting profiles to bridge the gap between computers and human behavior. Using his own history of success and failures, he has authored three books which focus on redefining success and human values.
Early life
Hastings was born in Houston, Texas. His father, Paul Hastings (1937-2011), was a well-known Houston Police Department veteran who proudly served his country in the Korean War, and later went into politics where he was the Sheriff of Hayes county from 1988-1994. Both his father and mother, Judith Hastings, instilled in him a strong sense of morality, service and commitment to help others. However, in 1981, when his father suffered a major heart attack and was forced to retire, his family moved to the hill country in Canyon Lake, Texas and Jeff stayed behind to live with his childhood friend, David Wilson.
As a college student, Jeff saw an opportunity to study the new and exciting world of Computer Science, and put off his passion for the study of the Personal Psychology. Working his way through college with the financial support of Farmers Insurance Group of Companies, Jeff graduated in 1990 with honors at Park College, which was primarily a university for military officers.
Business Career
In 1985, Jeff was hired as a file clerk to work in the State Office for Farmers Insurance Group of Companies. Working his way up through the organization while attending full-time night school, he worked in various positions including administrative services, claims, underwriting and auditing. Throughout this entire time, Jeff's passion for entrepreneurship was fueled through his first business, Hastings Sign Company. At just 20-years young, Jeff negotiated a contract with a local sign builder to allow him and five (5) of his employees to use his shop in exchange for his three personally built computers and a 20" CAMM-1 digital sign printer. Lasting for 9-years, Jeff sold his business to move back to his home town of Houston, Texas where he opened his own insurance agency.
