Jeff's father worked in the steel industry, so he and his family moved frequently as a child. He grew accustomed to these frequent transitions but settled in during his last years of high school and college and made life-long friends.

Jeff attended the University of Illinois and obtained an undergraduate degree in accounting and finance. He then attended Harvard Business School after spending a few years at Accenture in finance and IBM in sales.

After graduating from HBS, Jeff spent four years in Singapore and three years in Hong Kong before returning to the United States.

Reflecting on the next five to ten years, Jeff is focused on joining a community of people with whom he enjoys spending time. If a business opportunity evolves as a result, all the better.
