Jeff has been an MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table) member since 1995, qualifying for Court of the Table Honors and Top of the Table Member several times.

Jeff has been involved in coaching youth sports with a special emphasis in basketball and is an active member of St. John the Evangelist Church in Rochester. Giving back to the community is important to Jeff, which is reflective in his honor of receiving the 2015 Fortunaire Community Service Award and 2022 Rochester Catholic Schools Everyday Hero Award.  Jeff and his wife Marnie are graduates of Luther College and are active in supporting Luther and higher education as well as supporting the Rochester Catholic School system. Jeff and Marnie reside in Rochester where they have raised their four children.
