Georgeanne Irvine
Jeffrey was a tremendous help to me when I was writing the non-fiction book, The Katrina Dolphins: One-Way Ticket to Paradise. The book is about 8 dolphins from the Marine Life Oceanarium in Gulfport, Mississippi, that were left behind during Hurricane Katrina, washed out to sea and then rescued several weeks later. (Jeff worked at the Oceanarium before it was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.) Jeff went out of his way to help me with my book research. He served as a consultant about the dophins, the Oceanarium, the hurricane, and many other aspects of the story. He was an excellent resource and his insight, input, and information were critical to the success of the story. I got to know Jeff well during this time and I know that he would make an excellent manager for any organization. I have great respect for Jeff and his talents, and he has my highest recommendation!
