Jeff Tiegs is the public founder and executive director of Skull Games and the key bridge figure between the operation's current independent nonprofit form and its earlier ATP / Victor Marx institutional phase.
The current repo supports a cautious but meaningful description. Tiegs is clearly the public leader of Skull Games in current official material and current nonprofit records. He also appears directly in ATP-era material as a senior leader inside All Things Possible Ministries, which helps explain how Skull Games moved from an ATP-linked counter-trafficking operation into a separate nonprofit.
The current repo does not independently verify every element of Tiegs's military biography. Several sources attribute retired special operations, special forces, or Delta Force credentials to him, but those details remain partly at the level of public self-description or reporting unless a future pass recovers stronger direct military documentation.
