Honor the Brave

Jeff and Zanna’s inspiration for the Honor The Brave program comes from real life experience. Jeff was a law enforcement officer himself and was injured while on the job, he understands the risks, dangers and challenges that those who protect us face every day.

Jeff found his calling when he began his career in law enforcement. He was born into a law enforcement family so you could say it was in his blood. His passion is to serve, protect and make a difference. He was committed to taking criminals off the streets that he took so much pride in protecting. Jeff earned the respect of his law enforcement family, the citizens of Sunnyvale, friends and family. He had a way of making everyone feel like they truly mattered by just taking the time to listen. The career he loved was cut short when a suspect viewed him as a threat to his freedom and chose to run him down with his stolen vehicle. The journey to recovery was full of physical, mental and emotional pain that shook Jeff and his family to the very core.

Zanna is committed to supporting Law Enforcement, Fire, and Military families. She knows first hand the sacrifices that are made to serve and protect. She is passionate about giving back and helping cultivate happy, healthy, lasting relationships. Zanna knows what it’s like to have Christmas morning at 4:00 am so dad can be there to see what Santa brought. She knows what it is to kiss your husband goodbye not knowing if he will come home, to get that call in the middle of the night, to have your whole world turned upside down, to watch the man you love be broken by losing the career that held his heart.

“Through life’s greatest challenges we have found our strength .”

Our Honor the Brave program is so close to our hearts because it keeps us connected to our public safety family. We are grateful to honor and give back to those who sacrifice so much.
