A three-year member of the Oberlin College men's basketball team, Jeff Weltman is currently the President of Basketball Operations for the Orlando Magic. 

Throughout his journey up the executive ladder in the NBA, Weltman has always made time for Oberlin College and the Heisman Club, hosting various teams and alumni happy hours. Additionally, he has assisted the men's basketball program in recruiting and retention. 

Helping the Magic reach the NBA Playoffs this season for the first time since 2020, Wetlman's career in professional basketball started in the late 1980s as a video coordinator and scout for the Los Angeles Clippers, eventually becoming the team's director of player personnel before moving on to the Denver Nuggets. 

After stops with the Detriot Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks, Weltman was named executive vice president of basketball operations and general manager of the Toronto Raptors in 2013, guiding the team into the playoffs in each of his four seasons up North after Toronto missed the playoffs in the five seasons prior to his arrival. 

Raised by his father, Harry, and mother Arlene, in New York, Weltman was born into basketball as Harry served as general manager of ABA's Spirits of St. Louis in the mid-1970s and for the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Jersey Nets in the mid-1980s. 

Weltman graduated from Oberlin in 1987 with a degree in creative writing.
