Jeff Klemp spent his early years as a Kansas farm boy before his family moved to Leavenworth in his teenage years. After attending Immaculata and Leavenworth High, Jeff earned degrees at KU and Baker and began a 30-year career that has placed him in leadership roles in businesses of all sizes.

In 2010, Jeff and his wife purchased a moving company that was financially distressed — then rolled up their sleeves and got to work turning things around. Century Van Lines is now one of the area’s largest relocation companies for military and non-military families, employing many local residents.
