He facilitated the planning process that led to the 2021 formation of The Choral Arts Collective through the merger of Bel Canto Company, a professional choir now in its 40th season, and Greensboro Youth Chorus, the Triad’s premiere children’s choir celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Jeffrey has participated in a number of community discussions and task forces regarding funding, inclusion, and the changing arts scene in Greensboro. In addition to non-profit leadership and strategic planning experience, Jeffrey has an extensive musical background, both performing as a professional singer throughout the region and teaching voice for more than 20 years. He holds a BA in music from the University of St. Thomas (MN) and a MM in vocal performance from UNCG.
