In 1996, Jeff moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, where he was a general assignment reporter. He looks back on South Florida with great fondness because that is where he met his wife.
In December of 1999, Jeff's wife got a job in Houston so they moved to Texas. A month later, he was fortunate enough to land a position as the morning reporter at KTRK.
Since joining the ABC13 family, Jeff's family has grown. He and his wife are proud parents of two boys who keep them very busy and occasionally bleary-eyed.
During Jeff's tenure at KTRK, he has covered hurricanes, Operation Iraqi Freedom from Kuwait and Iraq and Texas troops guarding the prisoners at Guantanamo, Cuba. He looks forward to many more exciting stories and happy years in Houston.
Jeff enjoys travel and pro football (GO TEXANS). He holds a degree in Television from Valdosta State University.
