Born and raised in the Great Pacific Northwest, Jeff graduated from WSU's Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, picking up a Regional Emmy along the way. He did the LA thing, because that's what producer types do, working on several TV productions, including TBS's “Deal With It” as script coordinator. Back in the NW (you'll note a NW theme here), Jeff crewed on HGTV's “House Hunters”, “Tiny House Hunters” and “Island Life”. Jeff is a huge sports fan and loves to take pictures.
