Currently a lighting designer in New
York City, Jeff has lived all over the Eastern seaboard and worked an incredible
variety of jobs through the years. Some spaces he has worked at include the
Pittsburgh Playhouse,
the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, the City
Theatre, the Chicago Theatre,
the Auditorium Theatre, the
Goodman Theatre and the Steppenwolf
Theatre. Jobs have ranged from building wooden canoes in Canada, sweeping
up after Riverdance, loading in the Rolling Stones and running away with the
circus to work in their sound department (less lifting than running a spotlight).
Since moving to New York to attend New York University’s Tisch
School of the Arts to work on his MFA in design, Jeff has had the immense
pleasure to work with some of the world’s finest lighting professionals.
In addition to NYU's renowned faculty, he has worked with Imero
Fiorentino for the past few years in both television and industrials. Recently
he had the pleasure to work for Johnson
Schwinghammer as an architectural designer, where he worked on several projects,
including Polo, Barney's New York and several residences. He then spent two years in telelvision working with the Lighting Design Group at CNN where he worked with Anderson Cooper, Paula Zahn and Larry King. These days Jeff is back in architectural lighting with Fisher Marantz Stone, where he spends his days designing lighting for various buildings, ships, apartments and public spaces. He loves it.
In addition to working in lighting, Jeff enjoys photography, soccer, scuba diving, reading science fiction (Kim Stanley Robinson, Neal Stephenson, Orson Scott Card) and talking about himself in the third person.
