Jef was born and raised in Salem, Ohio and spent much of his free time reading comic books, watching cartoons and doodling. Next, he ventured to Savannah, Georgia where he graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a B.F.A in Industrial Design.

Jef, at his core, is a creative entrepreneur that is inspired by Dr. Seuss, Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Jim Henson, Le Corbusier, and Paul Budnitz. His all-time favorite cartoon is Animaniacs and his two favorite Muppets are Lew Zealand and the Swedish Chef.
