He has worked in France and Spain, ridden a horse across the Pantanál in Brazil, and cycled almost everywhere. As a director of Putney Student Travel for 40 years, Jeff has led numerous educational programs for young people, designed programs worldwide, and sent his own children on Putney programs to Vietnam, Costa Rica, Italy, and Greece.
