In his youth, Jeff was always fascinated with numbers, and he enjoyed conversing about them with individuals older than him. They often told him, “Son, you have an old soul; your talk tells me you have been here before.” As a child, he never knew what that expression meant. Fast forward to the present day, and he greatly appreciates the 10,000+ hours invested into his interests by his aunts, uncles, grandparents, mother, and family friends.
