Jeff grew up in Wisconsin- so he cheers for the Badgers & Packers (but promises to root for Bears when not playing the Pack) . He finished high school and college in Oregon - so he cheers for the Beavers … and the Ducks too, except when they’re playing the Beavers. He served a tour with the US Navy and worked in advertising on the west coast before going into full time ministry.
