Jeff\\u2019s professional path started in 1990 when his father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.\\xa0 Since Jeff\\u2019s father was the sole provider, the family needed the business to stay open. His father needed treatment immediately and his mother needed to be his caretaker, so Jeff needed to go to work.\\xa0

He balanced his senior year in high school and keeping the store open.\\xa0 This was when he started to see the work ethic his parents taught him and that life will deal big blows when you least expect it.\\xa0 Jeff\\u2019s father lost his battle with cancer July 5, 1991.

Along with the support and help of his mother, the business stayed open until Jeff graduated from the University of Florida with a BS in Public Relations in 1997. They decided at that point it was time for a new chapter for both of them and they closed down the business after almost 30 years.
