After studying at the Julliard School (Pre-college) on a scholarship in high school, Jeff attended the Royal Academy of Music in London and has degrees from both the Royal Academy of Music and Royal College of Music. Stuart Knussen, the former principal bass and Chairman of the Board of the London Symphony Orchestra, the "world's greatest double bass player," offered Jeff a full scholarship to work with him in Banff, Canada. Jeff worked privately with Stuart in Canada, England and the United States.   Jeff’s performing career included performing in Les Miserables on Broadway and with London’s Royal Philharmonic. After performing as principal double bass of the orchestra with Stuart as his assistant, Stuart said,” You will leave this orchestra, then become Principal Bass of an orchestra like Houston Symphony, stay there for 5 years, then go to Chicago Symphony or Boston Symphony. Please don’t do that. There is another path for you. Become a doctor. Stuart’s best friend, the great conductor, Leopold Stokowski, had been treated by acupuncture and enjoyed Chinese Medicine, so it made sense for Jeff pursue Chinese Medicine.   Jeff's Journey into Chinese Medicine.
