He is the middle child of three sons, raised by a research scientist and an educator/social worker. After failing to excel at traditional sports, he discovered scouting and embraced a life-long passion for outdoor recreation. Initial interests in hiking and canoeing eventually led to rock climbing, whitewater kayaking, and sailing.
Jeff received his bachelor's degree from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. He decided to major in psychology after considering both religion and education. His master's degree was awarded by Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Jeff received his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Ohio State University in 1990.
