Jeff Behymer graduated from Putnam City West High School in 1998. He went on to graduate with a BBA in Marketing from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2002. Having been born a people person, Jeff bucked the system in the 90's and talked to every stranger he met. That is what lead him to a career in sales and management.

In 2008, Jeff officially became a Miller when he and his wife, Daysha, moved to Yukon. The major draw to the area was the school district. Coincidentally, they were newly expectant parents to their first child, so the timing was just right. 

Jeff and his wife Daysha have both volunteered in the district, but he believes the award for best volunteer in his family should go to his wife, Daysha. She has served for nearly a decade in the Helping Hands and mentoring programs, while also volunteering for many Bingo nights!

Jeff is now serving his second stint on the YPS School Board. He originally served from 2016 to 2019 until they moved out of the district he served. Now serving District 3, Jeff looks forward to working with people on all levels of the YPS staff. He also looks forward to the facing what the future holds for our Miller community.
