Jeff grew up in Orange County with two older brothers who are twins, playing basketball, hockey, soccer, and skateboarding... so competition is nothing new to him. Jeff was always involved in student leadership, serving as the 6th, 7th, & 8th grade class President and as the Activities Commissioner for two years in high school. He started playing violin and electric bass at a young age and later became the lead guitarist of his pop-rock band called Five Star Rating. In high school, Jeff was a tri-sport athlete and during his sophomore year, travelled the country competing as a professional video game player for Halo 2 and ended up being ranked 16th in the world. Jeff became fluent in sign language after studying it for four years in high school and put this skill to good use volunteering at Hospice.
Jeff then went on to study Graphic Communication at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where he joined a fraternity and discovered his love for themed parties and freestyle rapping. Jeff has been working at Salesforce for the past five years and is very proud to have been recognized as the “Solutions Engineer of the Year” last year. Nowadays, when he isn’t working, he’s either spending quality time with his bunny, Mr. Toodles, recording music, DJing, freestyle rapping, or dancing at concerts. Jeff decided to participate in this competition to honor his sister who he lost at a very young age to cancer, his best friend in high school, and his grandmother who is currently battling cancer, and to hopefully make a difference for somebody somewhere that is fighting the good fight. <3
