In his youth, he was very talented in baseball. He made the All-Star team from ages 9 to 16. He also excelled in track, specifically high jumping. Jeff graduated from Box Elder High School in 1968.
As Jeff got older, he developed his musical talents. He was an excellent musician, skilled in piano, six strings, bass guitar and harmonica. He started two different bands, "Ocean" and "The Other Guys." For College, Jeff attended Weber State for two years and, in 1970, moved to Twin Falls to join his brother, Keith, and started in the business of general contracting.
