Jeff lives near Savannah, Georgia. He grew up in Camden, South Carolina. Early on, sports consumed Jeff. After the NFL and MLB did not work out, Jeff decided to graduate from high school so he could focus his efforts on hunting and fishing. At some point, Jeff's parents convinced him to go to college. It was in college, at Clemson University, where Jeff really began to develop a talent for the absurd, likely because he was surrounded by some of the best in the business.

In a characteristic lapse of sanity, Jeff declined the offer and instead joined the United States Navy, thereby sealing his fate to remain forever in debt. The U.S. Navy sent Jeff to several exotic locations, including Afghanistan and Iraq, where Jeff had the luxury of serving in the Al Anbar province with the United States Marine Corps.

Soon after Jeff returned home from a trip to Afghanistan, the young couple’s first child arrived. Then another. And another. And another. It was the experience of raising children that taught Jeff how precious and short life can be. ...more
