...has been writing professionally (in a very amateur fashion) for fifteen years. He's written screenplays at film studios like Warner Brothers, Disney, Universal, Columbia, and Interscope; and for producers such as Ivan Reitman, Samuel Goldwyn Jr. and Ray Stark. These film projects were written in collaboration with David Hines [Jeff (left) and Dave (less left) are pictured below].
Jeff has also written for comics and entertainers such as Jim Carrey, Rodney Dangerfield, Gabe Kaplan, Rick Dees, and Jay Leno [The first joke Jeff ever sold to Leno].
Jeff is also co-owner (with Rodney Lee Conover) of Comedy On Tap™, which features a newsletter that provides topical humor to 200,000 outraged, offended subscribers every weekday.
He also is partnered with Conover and film producer Rich Hull (She's All That) in SportsHollywood.com™, a new site where celebrities in film, TV and athletics give their views on sports and entertainment.
Oh yeah -- Jeff has also worked as a cartoonist and illustrator, making even less money at this than he does at writing [See a review of Jeff's cartoon work by cartoonist R. Crumb].
