He is the recipient of The Defense Meritorious Service Medal, and numerous other awards including being selected as the #1 ROTC graduate in the United States in 1996.

After retiring from the Army in 2009 Jeff worked as a government contractor for five years training military personnel who were preparing to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan. During this time Jeff discovered yoga and immediately recognized the potential physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits. It has had tremendous impact on his life including helping him with his own battles with military service related PTSD and a 30 year struggle with eating disorders. Most recently Jeff stepped down as a full time yoga therapist for the Army in the Integrative Pain Management Center at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington and now works with them as an independent consultant and sees clients in his own private practice.
