Jeffrey Hills was born in Brooklyn, New York, and his family moved to East Meadow, Long Island, when he was eleven years old. It is said that you can take the “boy” out of Brooklyn but you can not take Brooklyn out of the boy, and so it is. Jeffrey and his wife Phyllis raised their family, son Brett and daughter Rachael, in Montgomery County outside of Philadelphia. One of many special trips the family took was to Lake Powell living on their house boat Jeffrey retired from dentistry in 2003 and he and Phyllis moved to Taos, New Mexico, where they live in the house they designed for the furniture Jeffrey built throughout their life. He loves the West and enjoys tending his orchard of apple, pear, and peach trees. In the winter months he and his wife will cross country ski and bike ski. In the summer they have traveled in their Air Stream throughout the West’s National Parks and explored on their bicycles. Over the 55 years of marriage Jeffrey and Phyllis have had five dogs and the boy they rescued eleven years ago is a black lab mix named Duke who shares their life and adventures now.
