About

Jeffrey fancies himself a maker.  Creative contemplation is his raison d'être. He firmly believes in the transformative power of live theater and in its potential to heal, to educate, to contextualize, to empower, to dislodge, to humble, to ignite, to quicken, to delight, and also to entertain. His admittance into the esteemed theatre program at Minnesota's Perpich Center for Art's Education in Minneapolis who's focus on storytelling, ensemble, improvisation, and devised performance was transformational.  He cherishes those heady art-school days of the mid 1990s and the many educators and supporters who helped to open his world offering a path away from the wide open lonely prairie. In 2003 Jeffrey earned a Bachelors of Fine Art with concentrations in Scenic Design and Performance from The University of Minnesota -Duluth. Jeffrey holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Boston University where he was honored to study under James Noone. He's lived many lives, and worn many hats over the years.  He likes to ask questions and to seek answers and he readily admits that our world is colored in varying shades of gray.   

Jeffrey is a proud member of the United Scenic Artists local USA 829.
