Jeff Baker and I served together in the US Peace Corps Mongolia, and we were in regular contact for two years. Jeff always demonstrated a positive and assertive approach to life, as well as a focused, organized, determined approach to work. He enjoys new challenges and works hard to improve on past results: in the classroom, with his environmental club, or learning Mongolian. Jeff also understands the human side of the equation: he talks to people and knows how to motivate and encourage others.
