Music became Jeff's life at age 14. Growing up In the Chicago area, he
started getting into drums and drumming. After band in school and private studies he also took some studio courses to learn the technique of developing his sounds. By 16, he was playing the local club circuit setting in with any band that would let him. He would also go to all the jam nights to get himself noticed.

After joining with some prominent local players they pretty much were in the local "A-circuit" venues for a few years but wanted more. They contacted an agent in Houston, TX and decided to relocate to Texas playing venues on their way down.Once in Houston they played the local hot spots such as Cardies, The Backstage, and others. After working with this agency for a year or so the band broke up.

Jeff then started playing with a Houston Band that played pop, dance, & variety music, later named Mobility, which was the band for the radio DJ Moby doing high profile shows with Moby fronting the act.

After a few years with that act Jeff was offered to gig with a Dallas band called The Laww. They moved him to Dallas, rehearsed the show for two weeks and went out on the road for 3 months at a time. They played in Oklahoma, Colorado, Las Vegas, Reno, LA, Minnesota, South Carolina, Illinois, Michigan to name a few.

After 4 years he left the band to pursue an all original act that played the Dallas circuit called Corrupted Innocence. This band did very well in the Dallas Metal scene headlining such venues as The Basement, Dallas City Limits, The Rock, Bronco Bowl, with their main opening act being the as-yet-unsigned Drowning Pool.

After a 7-year run with Corrupted Innocence he gave music a rest and focused on other aspects of his life. Not being able to stay away from music too long he made himself available for work through an internet based musician web page and was contacted by Decades. What started out as a fill-in gig as grown into a permanent position for Jeff.

"Decades has rounded itself out with some great players that have also found something that not every band can claim and that is a bonding friendship that is more than just music based," he says. "Hopefully your club will have a chance to experience all that we are about!"
