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.
