Experience

Jeff's love of motion pictures began when he viewed Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" for the first time. While he had no aspirations to be a writer early in life, he gravitated towards film criticism during college and eventually made his way onto the freelance cycle. Following his graduation from Dixie State University (now Utah Tech University), Jeff worked as a full time sports writer and then moved towards graphic design and marketing. However, he kept one foot firmly planted in the entertainment world with various side gigs that allowed him to share his opinions on film and TV. Now, he works as a full-time marketing coordinator/graphic designer in Arizona, where he lives with his wife and two daughters, and spends his days cheering on the Seattle Seahawks and (bizarrely) Utah Jazz. He continues to write about films /Film and other media outlets, and has recently begun diving into the early days of motion pictures in the hopes of expanding his knowledge of the film industry. He's always up for trying something new, whether it's a project, hobby, or experience.

Education

After graduating from Wheatland High School in California, Jeff attended Yuba College for a spell, then made his way to Dixie State University, where he acquired a B.S. in English literature in 2010. Later, he achieved an MBA from Benedictine University Mesa.
