His early experiences - built on a solid foundation - focusing on marketing, sales, advertising and finance, led to him to pursue his real passion. Taking this business experience - Jeff always being entrepreneurial - entered the Construction Industry in 1995 with design to specifically stand out as a Luxury Builder. This trail has led to many successful projects and garnered industry recognition.
