Jeff received a B.S. in Film Animation with a second major in Color Photography from the Institute of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology in 1973. Considered the successor to the Bauhaus teaching, ID exposed Jeff to the photographic and surrealist photomontage techniques of László Moholy-Nagy and Herbert Bayer, which influenced his career in the graphic arts, and his later digital imaging works. His digital imaging combines his experience in photography and airbrush art.

His artwork appeared in Artists USA1977/78, and his award winning graphic design was included in Creativity 14 (1985), and DESI Awards 1985 and 1987. Jeff holds a lifetime teaching credential for California Community Colleges in art and Design, including photography.
