At the Rio Games in 2016, Jeff fulfilled the dream of becoming an Olympic Gold Medalist.

Jeff found his start in running and jumping at the age of 15, and though he has seen many successes, he also does not get lost in the tougher moments, saying, "I easily get over a loss in a competition.  I use that motivation to make sure that it never happens again." He is tenacious on the track, but has a softer side off the track, and is a self-proclaimed mother's boy at heart. When it comes to any down time, Jeff has a deep passion for football, and keeps himself heavily involved in the sport.
