Jeff was born and raised in Los Altos, California. He was a graduate of Los Altos High School. He then went to Foothill College where he had an opportunity to spend 3 months in Europe through a study abroad program. That experience sparked his interest in international business and he went on to get the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (International Business) at San Jose State University. He was affiliated with the SAE fraternity as was his father. He pursued a career in international trade working for companies in San Jose, CA and Raleigh, NC.

He loved sports, playing football, and went to many 49er and Giant games with his father who passed away 24 years ago. He will be greatly missed by his family and those who knew and loved him.

Jeff is survived by his mother, Linda; sister, Julie; two nieces and three uncles.

A memorial celebration is planned at the family home in California for September 6th at 1pm.
