Background

Jeffrey has lived in Southern California all his life, born in San Dimas and raised in Diamond Bar. He participated in the Diamond Bar High School Marching Band where the band ranked within the top 10 bands in California, even earning the opportunity to participate in the Pasadena Rose Parade. Jeffrey also participated in the orchestra, playing the violin. Around the same time, Jeffrey was fulfilling his interest in Astronomy with the purchase of a 18 inch Dobsonian telescope (just barely fitting in his prized pickup truck). He also volunteered at the Rancho Santiago College Tessmann Planetarium where he presented a few shows about Comets in time for Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 that crashed into Jupiter.  Participating with the planetarium and the Orange Country Astronomers, Jeffrey began getting involved in computers. He began as a Sys-Op for the Orange Country Astronomers BBS, and Telescopes In Education BBS, pre-internet days. HTML was the natural transition forward, later becoming his profession. 

Jeff's journeys have included family trips as well as solo adventures. Jeffrey and his 4x4 truck have traveled over 330,000+ miles together. He's been north to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, west to Kodiak Island and as far east as Maine, and to the sand beaches of North Carolina. This has taken him to 30 States and 3 Canadian Provinces. 

Jeffrey draws further inspiration from his companionship and travel with kindred spirit, and wife, Jenny. They share an energy of creativity as they share experiences together. Jeffrey says "Every day there seems to be new windows into the world that we look through together, loving the opportunity to grow together." We were blessed with marriage in October of 2013. The best time is "Jenny Time".
