About
Jeff is a single father, native of Kansas City, MO. He has always been described as a stylish, clean cut young man by his teachers and others. He attended Milton Moore Elementary, JA Rogers Middle School and graduated from Northeast High School.
Jeff demonstrated a hardworking attitude when he played football in the Pop Warner League for the Predators and later played football for Northeast High School where he wore jersey number 9, which is the inspiration for the number which graces his clothing line.
Jeff has always been interested in art; as a small boy he could identify paintings by artists like Monet, Thomas Hart Benton and Van Gogh, just to name a few. Additionally, at an early age he showed a talent for drawing and he sought creative venues to display his works.
Jeff’s entrepreneurial spirit was awakened when he participated in a youth program called Junior Achievement. At that time he began to look for innovative venues to combine his style, hardworking attitude and artistic talent to create a business of his own.
As a college student Jeff drew a lion’s head which he had designed into a tattoo to grace a permanent canvass, himself.
It was then he began to explore clothing design as an outlet for his tri-fold talent.
