Jeff’s theory on the job market is to stay as far away from the check-out aisle as possible. Rather than succumb to the mindless boredom that comes with working a 9-5 job, he occupies his time with a variety of alternative careers. He is a semi-professional musician/songwriter who has recorded four CDs, opened for the likes of Meatloaf, James Brown, Don Dixon, Little Feat and Mark Wills, had a song included in a TV show DVD and written music for a pop-rock musical. At the other end of the spectrum, he uses the left side of his brain to design websites and create graphic designs for a variety of uses. Finally, Jeff combines his love of music, travel and food, and channels it into various freelance writing and photojournalism outlets.
