Jeff Agyarko

Jeff Agyarko is a proud U.S. Army veteran who served with honor for over 25 years, retiring as a Command Sergeant Major in 2023. Following his retirement, he returned to his hometown of Woodbridge, Virginia, where he continues his lifelong commitment to service as a Defense Mission Expert within the Defense Industry.

A brother, father, uncle, mentor, and community member, Jeff has dedicated decades to supporting the youth through Big Brothers and Big Sisters programs, coaching Army youth sports, and volunteering with the Girl Scouts of America. His love for art is rooted in a deep appreciation of nature and a belief that every child deserves access to creative opportunities—opportunities that were unavailable to him as a child.

By joining the Children’s Art Classes family, Jeff is carrying that vision forward by creating a welcoming space where young minds can explore, imagine, and express themselves through art –  One Masterpiece at a Time.
