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.
