Since High School:
Jeff earned a B.S. in Journalism from Northern Illinois
University in 1972 and a M.S. in Marketing Communications
from Roosevelt University in 1983. After working in
communications for a medical association and industrial
advertising agency, he moved on to United Stationers,
where he has worked for 22 years, currently as Director of
Communications & Events. He married Andrea in 1978 and
they have two sons, Jeremy (1980) and Seth (1983), both
of whom attended Palatine H.S. Jeff is probably one of the
few PTHS graduates to still live four blocks from the old
high school. In addition to his hectic corporate career, Jeff
stays busy with cycling and cross-country skiing (when
there’s snow) and is a member of Palatine Toastmasters
Club. He also writes a lot of haiku.
