Born in Chicago and raised on a farm in western Minnesota, Jeff is fluent in the art of dog whispering and Minnesota goodbyes.

​

He started performing at a young age - starting with "concerts" on a fireplace hearth with a tennis racket as his guitar to hitting real stages in front of thousands of people.

​

Throughout high school, Jeff was heavily involved in soccer, hockey, and any band and choir ensemble you could think of - you name it, he was probably in it!

​

In college, Jeff was in multiple extra-curricular activities, including theater, speech, and intramural lacrosse. His theatrical career consisted of being both on- and off-stage: doing lights, sound, and acting.

​

Since college, Jeff took his love of performing and helping others online, where he launched his YouTube channel and has fostered a community of over 6,500 subscribers.

​

Currently, he lives in Minnesota with his adopted husky, Aspen (pictured above).
