JEFF GODIN

Jeff is Cree/Irish.

He was born in Thompson, Manitoba. Due to medical matters his family had to move to Calgary, Alberta. Jeff grew up in foster homes, group homes, & institutions. As a young adult he battled alcoholism & eventually got that under control. He then set his sights on the arts & entertainment scene & wiggled his way to the top.

During this time Jeff had a dream job of working for the city in their Parks department. For whatever reason Jeff wanted to go join the US Army before he became to old so he left everything behind & ended up in Kalamazoo, Michigan where he stayed with his former foster parents. While getting back into shape, Hurricanes Rita & Katrina happened & Jeff got trained in Disaster Relief by the American Red Cross & was deployed to Falls Church, Virginia for 2 weeks. After that things fell apart & Jeff returned to Canada & roamed around Alberta & Manitoba.

Eventually Jeff settled in Lethbridge, Alberta where he learned to live with Schizophrenia. Jeff continued exploring the arts but not to the degree that he did while in Calgary. What lies down the road for him is unknown & he likes it that way.
