Growing up in Northwest Indiana, Jeff pursued creative endeavors in TV, Film, live stage, and musical productions. He continued in college majoring in TV/Film production with an emphasis on screenwriting and the labor-intensive production process.
As the ebook market began expanding, on the digital front he decided to write a novel based on a screenplay he'd been working on which became The End Begins: The Nine.
His genre focus has been science fiction/fantasy, but likes to experiment with any genre he can create layered, complex characters. His influences stem from China Miéville, Robert A. Heinlein, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Mira Grant.
He's also an avid Kickstarter supporter.
