Jeff started web development in the mid 1990s. In 2004 he and Brandon Dove founded Pixel Jar, a custom web development firm specializing in WordPress projects. Jeff also co-hosts the monthly Orange County WordPress Developer meetup in Huntington Beach, and speaks and volunteers at neighboring WordCamps. When not programming, he spends most of his free time traveling, hiking, camping, surfing, and any other activity where there is no signal. Also, coffee.
