Jeff learned to dive in 1990 in preparation for assisting on a series of underwater filmmaking workshops in the Caribbean. He went on to dive extensively in the warm waters around the Virgin Islands and the [very] cold waters of upstate New York lakes. He is now a NAUI open water and technical instructor and is trained in mixed gas diving and decompression techniques.
After relocating to Los Angeles in 2003, Jeff discovered the Southern California ocean and began exploring the Pacific coast. He loves to dive the deep areas of the Channel Islands and Monterey coastline. He is also a diving volunteer with the Santa Monica Baykeepers working to rebuild our local kelp forests.
Jeff has been teaching adults all his life. He spent two decades running filmmaking classes at the International Film and TV Workshops and the Rockport College and currently owns One On One Film Training, a consulting company working with emerging directors. Jeff is a Certificated Flight Instructor and spent many years teaching and competing in competition aerobatics.
