Pennsylvania State University in Monaca, Pennsylvania, and at Marquette University in Milwaukee.  In 1986, Jeffrey began his formal musical studies, and enrolled in the music studies program at Mott Community College in Flint, where he achieved Dean's List Status for 2 years, carrying a 4.0 average.</div> <bR> <div> His greatest accomplishments however, have been in the field of gospel music.  As a writer, musician, director, and/or producer, Jeffrey has appeared on over 160 albums including the New Jerusalem Baptist Church Choir, Wilmington-Chester Mass Choir, Florida Mass Choir, Charles Fold

Donald Vails, Rev.
