· Born: 25 June 1980
· Birthplace: Elmira, New York
*
Jef grew up on a lake in New York, taking full advantage of his surroundings and, in his early years, racked up quite a few amazing accomplishments. By the age of 5 he was water skiing and by age 8 he was winning competitions. By 10, he was driving the boat for his friends to do the same. By age 12, he was adding wave runners and jet skis to the mix, and by 14 was jumping water ski ramps.
*
Not only did he tackle the water, but he was rippin’ it up on the land, too. Also by age 5, he was riding motocross, and, again, by age 8, was winning competitions. By age 12, he was winning against riders near twice his age, and by age 15, had won the Motocross East Coast Nationals.
*
However, it wasn’t all fun in the warm sun. Making sure he stayed active in the winter months, Jef started snowboarding. Little did he know that this winter “activity”, started at age 12, competing by age 13, would turn pro by age 16, lasting for 3 years on the pro tour.
*
Thing haven’t slowed down much for Jef from those early years. He stills competes and wins and is constantly adding to his resume. By age 18, cliff jumping; peak height reached, 113 ft. By age 22, started a wakeboarding school; consisting of two boats, another teacher / driver, and 25 students per week in the summer months. At 23 started doing street bike stunts; setting the stoppie record in Florida at 375 ft 2003. Still to this day Jef is excelling in the world of freestyle sport bike stunts with a full calendar of shows each season that range across the country. Jef’s talent’s in all these sport has allowed him to land many top name companies behind him in sponsorship.

Age 24, Jef got into freestyle Motocross and soon to follow that in becoming a professional stuntman for the film in TV industry.
