About Jeb

Jeb and his wife Kristie smile for a photo in their backyard. They are dressed in dark blues to match.

Three generations of my family have lived and worked in Wayne Township for over 60 years. My parents met as school teachers, fell in love, bought a home, and started a family and a family business in Wayne Township.

My wife, Kristie, and I have been married for over 20 years. We met in Wayne Township and have lived in Wayne Township since we were married. We have two wonderful daughters, Zoe and Marina. Our house is also home to Huddles, a stray dog that wandered into our kitchen on a cold rainy day and never left.

I was fortunate enough to be elected in 1998 to the Indiana House of Representatives to represent our community. It was an honor and a privilege to serve for fourteen years. When the Legislature redistricted the maps in 2011, I was placed in a district with a Democratic Party colleague who had served longer than I had, so I decided to support her.

For 24 years, I operated my family’s business in Wayne Township, until I was elected Wayne Township Trustee in 2022. My life has been filled with the joys and challenges of raising children and volunteering with community groups working to make Wayne Township and Indianapolis better places to live.
