About
Jeff grew up in Maine and moved to St. George in 2015, shortly after his son was born. He’s co-run the Jackson Memorial Library Tech Time program for more than a decade – starting while he still lived in New York City and visited St. George a few times each year. That volunteer work eventually led him to chair the broadband committee, an early StGCDC program, which helped bring high-speed internet to nearly 200 previously unserved homes on the peninsula. For the past three years, he’s coached soccer both at the 3/4 grade and 5/6 grade level.
Jeff has spent the past 20 years designing and developing web based software. Prior to that, his career had many forms – bartender, server, cabinetmaker, print production designer, even forklift driver at a cannery in Alaska – but he’s always been drawn to volunteer work that serves communities. At UMass Amherst, through a National Science Foundation grant, he collaborated with an economic research group to study the value of unpaid and often invisible labor. Though impossible to measure, the direct impact of unpaid work within a community – most often done by volunteers, caregivers, neighbors, and friends – continues to shape how he thinks about community and shared responsibility. The hard work by so many dedicated parents and volunteers throughout St George is a constant source of inspiration.
A good day for Jeff is spent getting lost in the woods on his bike, with his dog Murphy.
