He graduated with honors in Sept. of 1988, then returned to Pittsburgh where he taught private guitar lessons and worked with a band called Hot To Trot. From 1991 – 2003, Jeff worked on cruise ships playing many styles of music, working with 3 different bands on Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Holland America cruise Lines. Jeff is a full time Guitar, Bass, and Ukulele Instructor, as well as playing Solo, Duo, Trio gigs and working as a freelance guitarist.
