Jeff lives in Crystal Lake, Illinois, with his wife and son. An avid DIYer, there isn’t a home improvement project he has shied away from, spending many weekends with a jackhammer or table saw. When he’s not building, wiring and making dirt, dust and the like, Jeff is shuttling his son to competitive rock climbing and Scouting events. He also enjoys cooking and partaking in outdoor activities throughout the year, especially during the fall and winter. Jeff and his family also love taking road trips to National Parks in their attempt to visit all 50 states.
