Bio
Jeff had his spinal cord injury (SCI) in 1984 when he was hit by a falling tree that he was cutting down. Always climbing higher, he doesn’t let the SCI stop him from a full and active life. Jeff pushed the 26.2-mile Chicago Marathon 1 year to the day after his injury. This was the beginning of his wheelchair athletic life. Jeff enjoys many sports and activities, except for bowling and parachute jumping. He serves in a leadership role on many nonprofit organizations that benefit people with SCIs. Jeff is also a peer counselor for newly injured paraplegics.
