Jeff uses any excuse to be outside in the mountains: ultra-running, any kind of skiing (alpine, backcountry, & nordic), camping, hiking with the family, climbing, sailing, and just being. His wife and two children live in the Lake Tahoe/Reno area. Jeff has an MBA from the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley and a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Notre Dame.
