About Jeff »

I'm a custom home builder. I own two companies currently and am thinking of adding a few more. Normally we build new homes with the occasional larger addition or remodel thrown in for fun but right now we are doing lots more remodeling and small repair type jobs. We're building almost no new homes and just generally trying to keep employees employed.

I'm a fan of MMA. I've done a little training before but nothing really worth mentioning although I am starting to get a bit more serious. My hobbies are lifting weights, MMA and Motorcycles both dirt and street.

I'm not married but have a girlfriend of almost 7 years so I might as well be, no kids but I do have four Rottweilers who can be like kids when the pack mentality takes over.

Jeff Wackerly commented on November MMA Pound-for-Pound Rankings: Classic David Bowie

Even Anderson says Fedor is the best in the world still.

Brian Murphy replied…

It's amazing how clearly fighters see things. It really is. Dana White may not be able...
E. Spencer Kyte replied…

Part of it is also humility though, Brian. Anderson Silva, GSP, and Fedor himself are all...
