After a year in clinical practice Jeff was admitted into the Kaiser Permanente Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency Program in 2002.

In this role Jeff was a primary educator of doctoral students in the clinical environment, while also acting as the lead therapist at the USC University Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation Center. The USCUH Outpatient Rehabilitation Center is adjacent to the Doctors of USC’s medical office building, which afforded a unique opportunity to work directly with the Orthopedic surgeons of USC. In 2006, Jeff together with his wife Bekah opened  a private practice, The Body Center Physical Therapy and Pilates in Claremont, California. Jeff remains active with the USC Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy as an adjunct clinical instructor.
