"When I hired Jeff, I asked him to push the envelope — and he did that every day by making each show fun and memorable. In turn, that pushed up the ratings." "Heβs creative, innovative, and most importantly, he cares."
— Chris Holden, Former News Director WPMT FOX43
"I worked with Jeff in the studio for years. He has personality and energy that truly makes a show come alive. Heβs a pro who knows how to connect with the audience." "He's a great forecaster to boot — he actually gets it right!"

Social Media Engagement
I was integrating it on TV in 2010 — before it was a thing.
Facebook Fan Shout-Outs
Every morning, Iβd throw 3 new followersβ names on the weather wall, turning each forecast into something people tuned in for.
2-way communication
I used milestones to gain followers. For example, when I hit 2,500 fans, I did a stunt — a tricycle race live on air. After losing, I got hit in the face with a pie. It was great TV.
Making it personal
The more I posted, made smoke signals, sent paper messages via a very well-trained pigeon, about my day — on and off the camera, I was building relationships.

Commercial Break
Hi!
I wanted to be in front of a camera since I was a little Jeff Robbins. My 2nd teacher, Rose Boyer, once scolded me in front of the class: "You're going to grow up to be a game show host!" I should've made her my agent back then! π
I am down-to-earth and very easy to get along with. The person you see on-camera is exactly who you get in the newsroom. I'm a self-starter, but just as easily thrive in a team environment.
