Producer • Author • Thought Leader

Bolton is the only person, civilian or military, in the history of the B-2A Spirit stealth bomber program to both fly and film aboard the highly classified jet.

In a vivid, accomplished multi-media career that has taken Jeff both across town and around the globe in service to families, his demeanor remains focused and resolutely grounded in his core values: character, competence and compassion.

Jeff is currently executive producing the television series “The Watch: America’s Nuclear Mission Revealed,” an extraordinary, never before seen look at America’s mission to preserve global peace. The project is currently under the Department of Defense review and approval process.
 

In addition to the THE WATCH project, he is also producing a theatrical feature film about the life of an extraordinary Native American named Senator Tom Brewer, tentatively titled “Akicita – The Warrior”. Jeff produced the ground-breaking documentary film “America’s Marine Aviators” with director Dana Altman, a film which tells the unknown story of one of America’s most valiant fighting forces. AMA can be viewed on Jeff Bolton on Amazon Prime Video.

Bolton recently became the first person in the history of the B-2A Spirit stealth bomber program to both fly and film aboard the highly classified jet. Bolton has flown in almost forty current and vintage fixed and rotary wing combat aircraft including the B-2A Spirit, B-52H Stratofortress, FA-18D Hornet, TAV-8B Harrier, F-16D Viper, and AH-1W Cobra.

Jeff is also in another extremely rare club – he’s one of the few civilians in the world to complete the U.S. Navy’s grueling water survival training program for pilots, enabling him to fly in front line military combat jets and helicopters at sea in the carrier environment with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. He has completed carrier operations at sea on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), with multiple catapult launches and arrested landings in the Hornet.

In his long career he has been featured on legendary talk radio stations in San Francisco, San Antonio, Omaha, and Dallas. He’s also seen and heard nationally as a guest and host on numerous television networks and programs including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, MSNBC, and The Rush Limbaugh Program. Jeff has been nationally and internationally recognized for creating groundbreaking television and talk radio broadcasts from Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Japan. Jeff also completed the first-ever live talk radio broadcasts at sea with the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70).

The extraordinary life Jeff lives makes him a frequent keynote speaker and lecturer to universities, businesses, associations and non-profits. His presentations and speeches are applauded for their authenticity, raw emotion, and uplifting messages. With more than twenty years embedding in military commands, combat zones and natural disaster zones around the world, Jeff now also serves a highly respected, uniquely qualified politics and communications subject matter expert at the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas and he travels extensively teaching in U.S. military commands.

Jeff has a deep and abiding respect for America’s military families and he assists and supports several non-profit organizations who serve military members and Gold Star families, including Honor Our Marines, the Seven Stars Foundation, the American Fallen Soldiers Project, Defenders of Freedom and the Cavanaugh Flight Museum.

While he has amassed many incredible accomplishments, Jeff defines his life by the great gifts that have shaped him: being adopted at birth by loving parents; his 31-year marriage to his wife, the lives of their two children and their spouses and the family’s Christian faith.

A native Texan, Jeff is a graduate of Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas. He began his writing career there, and today produces magazine features around the world from the seats of supercars and fighter jets for publications such as Popular Mechanics, Defense News, MediaNews Group Inc., Wings of Gold, The Hook, SMOKE Magazine and AUTOWEEK Magazine.
