As a boy, he was active in Boy Scout Troop #79 at Burgess Ave. UMC, where he earned his Eagle Award. Jeff has been active in scouting for 40 years. He has been on several training teams for boys and leaders. He was the Scout Master for Troop #79, when Pastor Barbara arrived at Burgess. Jeff first asked her out by saying, "Would it be ok if the scouts did a service project around the church and would you like to go out with me sometime?" She said yes to both and the rest is history. On July 27, 2010, they will have been married for 19 years.

Jeff is a graduate of The Ohio State University in "Production Management." Since graduation Jeff has worked for Magic Chef, Nippertt Co., and for the last 10 years, COTA. He currently is a "Storeroom Supervisor."
