Jeff is a lifelong member of Ohio United Presbyterian Church. He grew up participating in the Youth Choir and joined the Chancel Choir while in high school. Throughout this time, he also learned to play the saxophone and flute in the Hopewell School District Music Program. He had many musical and spiritual mentors in the church. These people, along with his high school music teachers, encouraged him to pursue further education in music at Westminster College as an Instrumental Music Major. During his senior year at Westminster, he directed the Eastbrook United Methodist Choir. Jeff also taught private woodwind lessons.

 

    Jeff has continued to be involved with the Ohio U.P. Choir, while performing with several local rock-and-roll, blues, jazz and community bands as a saxophonist. He plays annually in local high school musicals as a member of the orchestra and as a featured soloist.

 

   Jeff considers it an honor to direct such a fine group of Christian musicians as the Ohio U.P. Choir. He looks forward to growing with the choir through fellowship, faith and laughter.
