Jeff grew up in Whitehall and enjoyed spending his time in the Lake George area. Jeff graduated from Whitehall High School in 1965 where he was known for his athletic and intellectual abilities.

While living in Kingston, New York, he enjoyed spending time with close friends in the Hudson Valley area.
