would forever change. Unfortunately, the extent of Jeff's knowledge limited his ability to help. In that defining occurrence Jeff vowed to increase his knowledge, and began training in all aspects of rescue. He took classes all over the country, and spent countless hours hanging off cliffs, and floating down rivers, and sliding down mountains perfecting his skills.

It was while Jeff was out in the wilds one day, when he was noticed and asked to help out effect rescues and provide safety to some athletes and actors during a commercial shoot. This soon led to a succession of jobs working as a safety assistant on shoots for NIKE, a couple of feature films and other odd jobs. Jeff worked with all types of people and was continually challenged to create intricate rigging pieces for stunt players and cameramen who needed to be in the most unlikely of places. Some of the rigging jobs included rubber banding someone off a cliff, erecting scaffolding 7 feet away from a 20 foot waterfall in the middle of a river, as well as erecting scaffolding and ladder bridges, high up on the slopes of Mt. Hood.
