Jeff was the captain of the Huron (S.D.) University basketball team and graduated from that school with a degree in communications. Jeff is the Timberwolves' employee with the longest tenure, having been hired on June 20, 1988. He cut his teeth in the sports industry as a sales rep for the Minnesota Strikers, a MISL soccer team. After 14 years of leading the ticket sales staff, Jeff took on a new challenge overseeing a staff of seven with retention, and three with game operations, that is designed to focus on guests with an emphasis on season ticket holders. The staff's single biggest objective is to make the ticket experience a great one for our fans. In addition, Jeff manages all of the Timberwolves and Lynx youth basketball initiatives, including summer camps. "The best part of the job is having the privilege to personally get to know and talk hoops with many of our ticket/youth basketball relationships," he says. Jeff and his wife, Julie, have two children: a son, Ty (15) and a daughter, Megan (6). In his spare time Jeff has served as a coach and board member for his kids activities in Champlin, loves golf and tries to secure as much family cabin time as possible.
