People with disabilities successfully perform all types of jobs and activities every day. With that said, Jeff is not disabled.
Unfortunately in 2018 while working in his capacity with the Rome Police Department as a SWAT operator, he sustained a career-ending injury to his neck and shoulder. After surgery and several other medical procedures, he was never able to be fully medically cleared to return to full active duty as a police officer. In 2022, Jeff made the hard decision to medically retire from a career and department that he loved. While it was obviously a very difficult decision, Jeff felt it was in the best interest of the department and the community. Jeff has no financial or physical restrictions in performing the duties of Mayor of the City of Rome.
