This performer brings a lifetime of elite training to the stage, blending the refined skillset of a competitive athlete with the artistic flair of a Looney Tunes cartoon.

Always one to enjoy the scenic route, Jeff underwent formal training in competitive gymnastics, theatre and music as a youngster before finding his home in circus arts.
