Jeff Dinnell

Jeff is constantly balancing the pressures of an enormous ego with the stagnation and procrastination of a compulsive underachiever. On the one hand the drive and motivation to be rewarded by peer adulation and that wonderful feeling of self worth, albeit somewhat shallow and superficial, is forever at conflict with the cynical laziness that prefers to stay home and watch TV. The struggle of knowing that once a task is undertaken, it must be executed to its greatest potential, because after all, Jeff is perfect. Yet if a task is not initiated in the first place, then the risk of imperfection is eliminated and the stress of actually having to perform is removed.

Take for example this Web-Page. This is all about Jeff, a perfect opportunity to showcase the incredible culmination of experience and good fortune that is, Celebrity Television Host, Jeff Dinnell. But alas this site was created not by Jeff, but by one of his many lowly assistants. Will Jeff's perfectionist side win out and rebuild this immediately, or will the more sedentary Jeff rule, letting this less than worthy text remain for all of his public to witness? Stay tuned...



Teen Idol / Celebrity Chef

Jeff was awarded Man of the Year at this year's Santa Cruz Uplift Society dinner. Honored for his many breakthroughs in zero gravity biochemical technology, his recently published anthology of Appalachian poetry as well as his work at the orphanage, Jeff's acceptance speech was heartfelt and inspiring. Pledging that the $26,000 honorarium would be used as start up money to produce a fundraising concert tour for his country punk band, Pop-Sicle, benefiting the homeless fashion assistance fund.

"Not having a job, a place to sleep or good meal is hard enough, but at least we can give these people some dignity."

After the fifteen city tour, Jeff plans on spending some more time with his wives and children.
