After college, Jeff was Operations Supervisor for one of the nation's largest Fixed Base Operators (FBO's) where he was responsible for ramp operations for over 100 aircraft, including private, commercial and military planes and helicopters.

Jeff began flying passengers for commuter airlines and attained the position of Captain while flying for an airline based in Chicago at O'Hare International Airport.  He has attained the highest level of certification from the FAA, the Airline Transport Pilot's license.  He also holds a Flight Engineer certificate and has served in that capacity on both the DC-8 and the Boeing 727.

Throughout his career, Jeff has been associated with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), as well as having actively participated in his local unions including the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) and the Teamsters.  Jeff now continues his connection to aviation through the practice of law.
