<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.amazon.com/Jeff-Hastings/e/B00MAFU684/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1 '''Jeff Hastings''']</span> (born January 18, 1966) is a published American author, business consultant, motivational speaker and <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.harvard.edu/ Harvard University]</span> student. As the current C.E.O. of <span class="plainlinks">[https://contractcoach.com/ref_id=135 ''ContractCoach.com'']</span>, his certified coaches have helped thousands of businesses around the world. Using data analytics, statistical modeling and <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence artificial intellegence]</span> (AI), 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.
Hastings was born in [[Houston, Texas]]. His father, <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/375698793885462171/5 Paul Logan Hastings]</span> (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 in Hays county, Texas (1988-1994). Both his father and mother, Judith L. 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 and later, H. Jefferson Kingry, III. Throughout the these difficult times and separation, Jeff admits it was his mother that kept the family together. Attending three high schools (Aldine Nimitiz, Smithson Valley and Dripping Springs) proved to be an invaluable experience allowing him to meet incredible people - many of which Jeff considers to be close friends today.
In the early and mid-1980's, our country was changing faster than the speed of light as Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Bill Gates set out to change the world. Now in college, Jeff put off his career plans and passion to study psychology and changed his major to computer science. Working his way through college, building and leasing computers to local business owners, Jeff graduated in 1990 with honors at Park College, which was primarily a university for military officers.
