Jeff, a multifaceted actor and producer, is driven by a passion for great storytelling. Born and raised on Long Island, he grew up just 45 minutes outside of New York City, where his early exposure to the performing arts was sparked by school plays and family trips to Broadway.
Jeff's educational background is in Fine Arts and Architecture, but he soon traded in his college pursuits for a career in the family business, becoming an executive at one of the country's largest southeast builders. However, after moving to New York City, he launched a new career in acting, taking night classes at Michael Howard Studios in Chelsea, where he was deeply inspired by instructor Naomi Thornton.
Jeff's NYC theater training was instrumental in his development as an actor, leading to performances Off-Broadway and recurring roles on television shows like All My Children. He eventually made the move to Los Angeles, where he continued to hone his craft with teachers such as Larry Moss, a New York Times bestselling author.
Since arriving in Los Angeles, Jeff has been fortunate to play a wide range of roles, from the villain to Disney dad, appearing in various television and digital series, movies, and acclaimed indie films, including the noir thriller This Last Lonely Place, which received official support from the Humphrey Bogart estate.
Jeff is also a partner at Industry Standard Films, a film production company, and has produced several notable films, including the Lord of the Rings documentary, Ringers, which won the Outstanding Achievement Award in Filmmaking at the 2005 Newport Beach Film Festival and received a 2006 Saturn Award Nomination. His other notable productions include Without, Mark Jackson's award-winning debut feature, and This Last Lonely Place, which won the Special Jury Prize for Cinematography at the 2014 Newport Beach Film Festival.
In addition to his film work, Jeff has also executive produced Uncertain Terms, Nathan Silver's critically acclaimed breakout drama, and produced and appeared in White Orchid, the second film from the estate of Humphrey Bogart. He has also produced and appeared in Biased, an award-winning dark comedy short, and has several character-driven film projects in development.
