I'm not sure when I first met Jeff through a friend, I think it was middle school. We would spend hours at his house trolling strangers online, in the days before the internet. In high school, I was convinced he would get us killed in his Monte Carlo. Jeff was always looking for adventure and fun. A few years later, I visited Jeff in Louisville, and was happy to see the life he had made for himself. I last saw Jeff about 5 years ago, by random chance. We talked for hours about life, where it was taking us and what we wanted out of it. He was still the smartest guy in the room, incredibly profound, with the same passion for adventure and life. I will always remember and be inspired by the way that he lived.
