In 1980, Jeff was one of three frame builders to debut a mountain bike at the International Bicycle Dealer Trade Show. Mountain bikes were the hit of the show, and he had more orders for his "Mountain Goats" than he could fill. Jeff turned his efforts to bicycle manufacturing. Over the years, he won awards for innovative frame design and artistic paint finishes. His reputation with Mountain Goat owners all over the world was built on quality craftsmanship. In 1989, Jeff was inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.

Eventually, Mountain Goat Cycles evolved into Altitude Cycle Technologies. As general manager, Jeff supervised the production of frames for Schwinn, Kona, K-2, and other well-known companies. While this was exciting, he missed the actual hands-on fabrication and design process.

During the bicycle manufacturing years, Jeff had many requests for his glass tools. In 1998, he established Cutting Edge Products and has dedicated himself to the evolution and production of tools for the glass artist. It is Jeff's experience and our commitment to excellence that enable us to confidently say—our tools are the best.
