Interning as a science reporter with WPM during the summer of 2019, Jeff was promoted to his current position while finishing his master’s degree at University of Wyoming. In a former life as a Laramie Boomerang reporter, he was awarded six Pacemakers for his coverage of the university and Laramie culture.
