Jeff was born and raised in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and was probably singing before he could even talk.

He and his wife, Kara, met as camp counselors at Skyridge Christian Youth Camp, and got married in 2001. They have three incredible children: Hayden, Brylee, and Merit (who are all singers too!). Throughout his life, Jeff has always had a passion for music, worship, and using the gift of song to encourage others, and he’s excited to turn that passion into a full time ministry here at Johnson Street.
