He and his family are die-hard UT Volunteers, and during the fall and winter months often head to Knoxville for football and basketball games. When not at the games they love to visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to hike and be outdoors. Jeff is active in scouting and is a member of the Eagle Scout Board of Reviews. He is also active in his church community and volunteers every month to help elderly church members maintain their yards.

Jeff has been with Regions Mortgage since August 1998 and is a Mortgage Loan Officer. Jeff has 26 years of mortgage banking experience and has spent most of his career at AmSouth/Regions.
