Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Jeff grew up an avid baseball fan and player.  He enjoyed success at all levels of the game and was a part of the 2007 IHSA State Finals as a member of the Dundee-Crown High School baseball team.

Jeff played for the University of Illinois (DII) team all four years, while majoring in Architectural Studies.  Primarily a pitcher, Jeff helped the Fighting Illini to a 17-6 record, a District VI Championship and a second place finish in the 2012 NCBA DII World Series his senior year. After graduation, Jeff continued to be involved in baseball as an umpire and coach, while working full-time at an engineering firm.

This is Jeff's twelfth season as a Regional Director, and he thoroughly enjoys staying involved with the NCBA.  From playing in the league from 2008-2012 and being a participant in the 2012 World Series, his knowledge will be very valuable to teams needing questions answered.  Jeff continues to live in his hometown of West Dundee, and attends as many Fighting Illini sporting events as possible.
