In his youth, Jeff had a passion for art and design that he developed through both practice and education. He was also exposed to the various means and methods of construction at a young age through the hardware store that his family owned. The combination of these interests would help lay the foundation for his career in landscape architecture. In 2010, Jeff was hired as an intern with RJI and he is now the firm’s Design Principal.
