In 1984, Jeff made one of the best decisions of his life when he moved to Texas and put down roots in Bedford. As a Bible-believing Christian, he quickly found a home church - now Cross City in Euless - where he has attended for almost 35 years. Approximately 26 years ago, Jeff met his wife Wendy at this same church. At that time, she was teaching elementary school for HEB ISD. He quickly fell in love with her Christ-like servant’s heart and, soon after meeting her, they married, blending their two families of four beautiful daughters and one terrific son.

Wendy and Jeff now have 8 grandchildren, some of whom still live in the district. They have made Bedford home for more than 35 years because of the strong conservative values and sense of family that exist across the HEB community. It is the love that Jeff has for the people and families of HEB that inspired him to serve his neighbors in the Texas House.
