A life spent bringing people together.
For 48 years, Dr. Jewett has served senior adults through church ministry and community leadership. His work has always centered on care, connection, and the practical needs of families.
For 25 years, he has directed community choral groups primarily composed of retired individuals. He founded and conducted the Treasure Coast Community Singers and served as President of the Treasure Coast Performing Art Collaborative.
The turning point was personal.
When his mother transitioned into nursing home care, his father took over paying the household bills — something he had never had to manage. When his father asked for help, Dr. Jewett discovered that goodwill alone was not enough. He needed power of attorney, bank signatures, and healthcare surrogacy.
"Preparedness is not about death; it is a profound act of love and kindness for those you cherish."
Education, Music & Service
Dr. Jewett holds a Master of Music in Choral Conducting from the University of Tennessee and a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership from Grand Canyon University. He is a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International and Martin Arts Performing Artist of the Year.
