Jeff DeGarmo - Franchise Consultant

Tulsa, Oklahoma

The freedom, flexibility and financial independence that comes with business ownership is something that anyone can achieve with the right direction. My goal is to help individuals learn how to achieve that dream through franchise ownership. Through in-depth conversations about your past experiences, passions, and financial and lifestyle goals, we will work together to identify high-quality franchise options that will help you realize your dreams.

With 27 years of leadership and mentoring experience including 22 years of starting and running multiple businesses, I have the experience to coach you through the self-evaluation phase, mentor you through research and due diligence, and guide your decision making process. My drive is not solely to place you in a franchise. Success is providing you clarity of thought and helping you determine if franchising is right for you. If it is, I have the resources to place you in any number of amazing franchise opportunities. And, I will be there along the way to answer your questions, share my experiences and cheer you on as you realize the dream of business ownership.

I graduated from the University of Colorado with an Aerospace Engineering degree and was immediately commissioned into the U.S. Navy. I served 8 years providing leadership and mentoring to my team as a Naval Flight Officer, Airborne Communications Officer, Mission Commander and Flight Instructor in support of the United States’ Nuclear Command and Control mission. During this time, I started a web development business, which I continued after my service in the Navy.

After 6 successful years in business, I merged with 2 other small businesses to form a full service advertising agency. Over the next 16 years, I provided agency management in the areas of technology, business operations, finances, training and support. Ultimately, I oversaw the marketing, research, and due diligence process that resulted in the sale of the agency to a public company. Additionally, during my agency career, I was a partner in a company that owned, operated and eventually sold a TSS Photography franchise.

Over my entire professional career and in my personal life I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to mentor and develop my team members and peers. Applying my experience and desire to help others as a consultant at The Franchise Consulting Company is an amazing next step in my journey.

Personally, I have a passion for health, fitness and nutrition. That combined with my love for coaching led me to become a certified personal trainer with a fitness nutrition specialty and a triathlon coach. I’m married with five children and enjoy coaching youth soccer, flag football and lacrosse. So far I’ve completed 8 Ironman races both in the U.S. and abroad and have two more scheduled. Business ownership has been the avenue that has allowed me to create the balance needed to excel personally and professionally. I understand what it takes to achieve a great work/life balance and create financial independence and freedom. Let me know how I can help you achieve your dreams.
