His favorite TV shows are Lost (R.I.P.), Fringe, Twin Peaks, The Office, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, NFL Football & MLB (Go Twins).

In his free time he edits and designs the online magazine Colossal Pop which reviews recent music varying from Contemporary Christian Music to Heavy Metal.
Jeff says, "God has gifted all of us in many ways and He has gifted me with the Spiritual gifts of teaching/preaching and compassion. I am passionate about teaching the Bible so people may understand it and use it to live a life pleasing to God. I also desire to help families become healthy and pray I can help them grow together in the Lord. I love the church and I personally don't think the we have even scratched the surface in doing what God has called us (the Church) to accomplish and I get excited when I know that He has called me to be a catalyst of change for His glory in the Church. I am not interested in DOING Church, I am more interested in BEING the Church."
