Jeff continues to build a reputation as one of Springfield's most innovative lighting designers, being the first to use automated lighting at the Springfield Muni Opera.  He has also started a residential and commercial lighting design business, American Customs, so that the same eye-catching lighting he does for theatre can now be applied to homes and businesses.  Check it out on the web - www.americancustomslighting.com.  He would like to thank his parents for always supporting whatever crazy endeavor he is working on next.
