Born in New York State, Jeff Lee was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and has spent his entire writing career in Los Angeles.For more than thirty years he has been a copywriter and creative director for some of the advertising industry's most recognizable agencies, winning numerous awards for his creativity. None of those ad agencies are still in business, but Jeff appears to have a solid alibi.Trained as a cook in the Army, he still enjoys being creative in the kitchen and admits that few things in life compare with the thrill of discovering you have just given a nasty case of food poisoning to 140 heavily armed men.Jeff lives about halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, in a house he shares with his two sons and a cat that's part golden retriever.
