Jeff was born and grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Though having attended church throughout his childhood, it wasn’t until he was 16 that Jeff began seriously considering the implications of the Bible’s claim that Jesus is both Savior and Lord. Two years of struggling to find peace brought him to the point of surrendering his life to God when he was 18. This new path and life prepared him for joining Patrick Evans as a missionary intern in Nigeria in 1999. There Jeff assisted in discipling youth, teaching Bible studies, and leading worship music.

Upon returning to the States after a six month term in Nigeria, Jeff continued in ministry with Patrick. They spent most of 2000 converting a ’75 Ford school bus into an RV, which they drove to Belize in October of that year under the newly established Dayspring Mission. Jeff continues to partner with Patrick in ministry in southern Belize. He serves as a mission pastor and as a teacher at Dayspring Mission Academy, a school in San Jose village begun in 2004.
