He treasured every moment spent with them in their Farmington home. He was known for his vibrant personality, calm demeanor, love of travel (Delta million miler!), and his culinary talents, that he generously shared with friends and loved ones. Jeff thoroughly enjoyed trips to Stone Harbor and cherished the time spent down the shore with family.

Throughout his illustrious career, he earned five Emmy Awards for his outstanding contributions, a testament to his talent, dedication, and innovation during his tenure at ESPN. His passion for his craft and his love of sports were evident in every project he touched.

Beyond his professional endeavors, he attended Drexel University in Philadelphia, where he was an active member of the fraternity Alpha Pi Lambda and developed lifelong friendships. He loved the Phillies, Eagles and Manchester United, and would catch a game any chance he got.
