Biography

Emmy and BAFTA nominated television producer in Austin, Texas. Jeff began working in television when he was 39. After some years in radio and non-profit work, he teamed up a friend and helped launch a new production company in Austin. Their first venture, a pilot for a business show, sold in 2004. By 2007, the company took root and they developed and produced a number of unscripted shows including "Shipping Wars" (A&E), "Quints by Surprise" (TLC), "Heavy" (A&E), "My 600-lb. Life" (TLC), "Smokejumpers" (CMT), "Half Ton Killer" (TLC), "Marshall Law, Texas" (TNT) as well as others. In 2013 Jeff left the company to create a new venture with his own particular vision, which became Bat Bridge Entertainment. He was the Showrunner, creator, and Executive Producer for the company's Emmy-nominated flagship series, "High Profits" featured on CNN and, later, Netflix. Jeff has since launched a new brand in scripted and unscripted television and is working on three upcoming motion picture projects.
