In 1997 he joined a rock band called "DOG D'JOUR" that was a local favorite in the Winchester and Richmond area of Kentucky through to the year 2000.  He then joined a band called "BROK" that played extensively throughout Kentucky as a bar band until the year 2002 when attitudes within the band caused a breakup.  At this time he joined a progressive metal band called "OVID" and recorded his third album.  This band parted ways when Jeff had to relocate to North Carolina.  Since that time he has searched through several different bands not finding the right group of people to make a permanent commitment to.  Until he met Pat Murphy who introduced him to "KING GEORGE".  Jeff has opened for several national-touring groups such as "STEALING HORSES", "STRUTTER", "BLACK OAK ARKANSAS", "FOGHAT" AND "SLAUGHTER".  His music has also been featured on a compilation disc called "BIGGER THAN YOU" that was released by "CODA" records.  His influences are "QUEEN", "PINK FLOYD", QUEENSRYCHE", "DREAM THEATER" and , Tchaikovsky.
