About the Author
Jeffrey B Daniels understands that true emergency preparedness doesn't start with stockpiling supplies—it starts with preparing your mind and your ability to lead when everything goes wrong.
With 25 years of experience in banking, working across risk management, compliance, accounting, and policy development, Jeff has spent his career anticipating problems before they happen and making sound decisions under pressure. These professional skills laid the foundation for a lifelong commitment to readiness that became urgent the day he became a father.
When Jeff and his wife welcomed their first child, everything changed. He realized that protecting his family meant more than hoping for the best, It required systematic preparation and the leadership mindset to guide them through crisis. Over 25 years of marriage and raising four children, Jeff has lived through earthquakes, economic turmoil, a global pandemic, and personal family challenges. Each experience refined his understanding that preparedness isn't about fear. It's about confidence, capability, and the quiet assurance that you can lead your family through whatever comes.
What sets Jeff apart is his focus on the psychology of preparedness and his proven ability to teach complex concepts in simple, actionable ways. Through years of leading youth in scouting, coaching sports, and serving in religious leadership roles, he has mastered the art of breaking down overwhelming topics into understandable steps that truly achieve results. While most resources jump straight to checklists and gear, Jeff helps families understand why preparation matters and how to lead effectively when stress overwhelms rational thinking.
Ready When It Counts represents decades of personal research, real-world experience, and a father's determination to equip families with both the practical tools and mental framework they need to protect what matters most.
