A midwest native from Kansas City, Jeff was drawn to the process of home design from a young age – building extensive models and entering competitions throughout his adolescent years.

Jeff holds a Master of Architecture degree from Clemson University as well as undergraduate degrees in Construction & Business Management. During his master’s program, Jeff spent a semester in Southern California leading a team in the design and construction of a solar-powered home for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon® competition. Jeff’s extensive background in construction enables him to seamlessly blend artistic design with real-world practicality.

Prior to launching Hammer Architecture, Jeff worked with a prestigious residential design firm in Nashville for seven years. As a licensed architect, Jeff is a member of the National Council of Architecture Registration Board.

Married and living in West Nashville, Jeff and his wife, Elizabeth, have enjoyed undertaking their own home renovations, gutting and rebuilding their home from the inside out.
