Born and raised in Southwest Missouri, Jeffrey has been a working artist for over 38 years, with extensive experience as a production potter and commercial sculptor for the gift, architectural ornament, and toy industries. He established his own pottery studio in 1986. but worked full-time as a production potter for Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO until the mid-1990s. During this time, he was also sculpting prototypes for the gift and architectural ornament industries.

In the late 1990s, he traveled the world creating sand sculptures for many large corporations, events, shopping centers, and sports teams before accepting a position as a staff sculptor for McFarlane Toys from 2000-2005. For that company, he sculpted action figures for many of the most popular movie properties such as the Terminator and The Matrix, as well as dozens of other properties in the movie, television, gaming, music, and sports genres. After McFarlane, Jeffrey sculpted prototypes for several other toy companies, producing toys and collectible figures for popular properties such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Resident Evil, Pirates of the Caribbean, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis, Sin City, Child's Play, among many others.

This extensive collection of experience is a powerful tool with which Jeffrey develops his own concepts and ideas into fine sculptural works under his own name. In addition to his sculpture and pottery work, he is also an award winning painter. He currently works out of his own studios in Neosho, Missouri, creating exquisite figurative sculptures in several types of clay media. He and his wife Donna own and operate The Clay Cup - A Coffee Pottery, a coffeeshop, gallery, and clay studio. They also purchased the old Congregational Church building across the street, converting it into a music venue and event center now known as Northwood Arts & Event.
