Meet the Artist
Jeff's experience with long-form
memorization and dramatic recitation began in middle school when
his parents became convicted that
the bar was generally being set
too low. Fortunately, he was also involved in a theatre arts program, seemed to have a knack for it all,
and loved it.
Jeff pursued these explorations
into college and beyond.

He has performed and directed
and been an acting coach for children and adults in a variety of contexts,
as well as a teacher of literature.
He hopes to help people experience the power of
the world's greatest stories
in the grand old way - live and
in community - and perhaps to
realize their own capacity for
learning and communicating.
