Jeff has been involved in motorsport since graduating as an Engineer. His initial motorsport involvement was as a crew member for a Group A Touring car team and for a Commodore Cup team. He was also a Technical Inspector for the Australian National Drag Racing Association for several years.

Jeff transferred from being a crew member to driver in the early 1990’s – initially starting at a country club racing level. The chance arose in 1996 to race a Commodore Cup car as a one off event at Phillip Island – a very daunting track to make your debut – and from there he was hooked, going on to build and race his own Commodore Cup cars (he built a VC Commodore, updated to a newer and better VC Commodore and then to VS Commodore) until that series ended in 2012.
