Throughout the years, Jeffrey and his family lived in several communities including Leedey, Shattuck, Buffalo, Ozark, Missouri, and Broken Arrow, before settling back in Leedey.

Jeffrey worked for many years as a Cable Television Operations Manager. He was a faithful member of the Leedey Methodist Church, where he also served for a time on the financial board.
