Jeff Fox

I have been married for 28 years and we have 7 children.  I am originally from Seattle, but moved here from Fairbanks, Alaska in 1982.  This is my 22nd year in education, most of which is in Special Education, but this is my first year in the Florence school district.  I love time with my family, cold weather, the Seattle Seahawks, the Chicago Cubs, and now the Florence Gophers!!
