  jump to [vitals | favorites | misc | sayings | quotes | finale] Jeff Timmons is the founding member
of 98°. While studying Psychology at Kent State, he decided to move
to Los Angeles to pursue a career in entertainment. Although he received
several acting jobs (including a commercial for the U.S. Navy!), his heart
belonged to music and
he formed a singing group. Time passed and several members came and went,
but everything started to fall into place when a mutual friend introduced
him to Nick. Shortly after, Justin and Drew joined the lineup and 98°
was born.

"Treat people how you want to be treated." finale Jeff was the guy who brought the group together and is sort of the leader. He's sensitive, romantic, and can cry if a girl breaks his heart. BUT..........he is not a wimp! He once serenated a girl the "Unchained Melody" and she told him never to sing again. I wonder what she must be thinking now!!! Jeff can hear a bad note from far away and he'll tell the group if their out of tune. |
