Jeff was born in 1982 in Holland. Raised Baptist by his parents, he later settled down in Northern California where, as he puts it, he was “led to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” and was baptized in the fall of 2006. He currently resides in Lancaster, California where he is a caregiver, writer, and budding apiculturist. Having experienced SSA from an early age, Jeff has found comfort and solace in the Church, its teachings, and the friends he had made since his baptism.
