He graduated from Greensville County High School in June 1987 and entered the United States Air Force in December 1987. In 2000, while stationed at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, a hidden poetic talent was unveiled. While in Nebraska, his poetry was used as part of a radio advertisement for a poetry club called The Groove. He also performed live poetry at the Cartier club, along with other great artists from BETs DEF Poetry.
Jeffrey started a jazz and poetry night while temporarily assigned near the Mediterranean. He also combined some of his poetry over pictures for Fathers Day t-shirts at the Eden Baptist Church in Omaha, Nebraska. Recently, one of his poems was featured at the Offutt Air Force Base February 2006 African American Heritage Committee Luncheon.
The old saying, behind every great man is a woman is certainly true in his case. In 2000 during an Air Force deployment, he started to write poetry to impress a young lady that he had met a few days earlier. It is amazing what a case of mistaken identity can lead a person to do. Jeffrey used poetry as a conversational tool. Once the flow was turned on, it has remained active and continues to the present time. Understandably, it might also explain the reason for naming the theme for his first poetic series--Speaking From The Heart.ver menos
