Name

Jeff

Position at Tucker Pup's:

Groomer

Professional certifications:

I graduated from the Virginia School of Pet Grooming

Prior professional dog experience:

I have been working with dogs since 2008. I started as a dog walker, then as a daycare supervisor, then as a bather, and finally as a groomer. I was a groomer for three years in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, CA, then moved to Chicago and began working at Tucker Pup's.

My pets:

Gigi (a Rottweiler/Husky mix, and the love of my life)

Favorite breeds:

I love them all. I definitely have a soft spot for all kinds of terrier mutts, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Brussels Griffons, basically anything with wonky eyes, an underbite, an overbite, or anything resembling a Fraggle Rock character.

Favorite activities:

Adventures with my dog! Beaches, lakes, hikes, road trips, basically anything I can do with my dog. I don’t like to leave home without her.

Future career goals:

I dream of running a retirement ranch for elderly / special needs rescue dogs who can’t find homes.

Other interests:

Photography, travel, food and wine, and Netflix.

Did you know?

While living in California, I would regularly detour on my commute home from work so that I could walk my dog past the Nightmare on Elm Street House
