Jeff Foxworthy
Jeff Foxworthy Jeff Foxworthy’s life is a great example of the efforts you can achieve through hard work, reinvention and dedication to your purpose. Born in 1958 in Decatur, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, Jeff was the oldest of three children. His father worked for IBM. His parents divorced when he was 10 and his mother moved the family to Hapeville, just South of Atlanta. In school he was very popular, partially because he loved to entertain friends so much. In the early ‘70’s, he even drew attention by “streaking” (running naked with a mask over his face) at a high school event (he was caught). Jeff attended Georgia Tech, in Atlanta for three years with the intention of following in his father’s footsteps at IBM. He dropped out of Georgia Tech after three years and , as planned, got a job at IBM. Jeff met a young lady and they married quickly, but the marriage didn’t last very long. In 1984, Jeff found himself divorced (like his parents) and working for IBM in Atlanta. One night while attending a comedy show at the “Punch Line” Comedy Club, he took the stage on Amateur Night on a dare from his brother. Jeff was such a hit with his homespun jokes that he was asked to return the next week to the Punch Line. That night was also significant because a young lady in the audience saw him and was attracted to him. Her name was Gregg. They dated and became an item within a week. Foxworthy began balancing weekly comedy appearances at the club and his work at IBM.
