Jeff Whitaker

As an account manager, Jeff gets to connect with clients while seeing projects progress internally at Drake Cooper. Originally from Portland, he studied product and graphic design at the University of Oregon. In the summer of 2022 he joined the DC team as a member of the 2022 Backstage Pass internship class. When the internship ended, Jeff joined the Drake Cooper account team in a full-time role.

Jeff loves board games, skiing, and playing team sports at the park. Pickleball is his current game of choice. The few hours that he is not surrounding himself with people, you can find him riding his bike leisurely by the river listening to a fantasy audio book.
