Jeff L. (Grindl in almost all online communities) is a 4-4-2 according to Duke E. year numbering. He has short, brown hair, is 5'11", and has brown/hazel eyes. He had braces for the first two years, and wears glasses on occasion.

In 2004, he attended Davidson Term 2. He was in Algebra II and "Special K"s RC Group. Here he met many notables, such as Thor, Will, and AC/DC (who may or may not remember him as "the kid with the box"). At the time, he was very anti-social and wasted away much of TIP by staying in his room, venturing out occasionally for a card game or two. However, something about being at TIP just felt right, so he came back the next year.

In 2005, he again attended Davidson, but during Term 1 that year. He was a part of Calla's RC Group and the class Engineering Problem Solving. That year he opened up a little more socially, spending a good deal of time playing Risk and talking with a few friends, such as Matt, Alex, and Jordan.

2006 took him to Duke E. Term 1. There, he took JAVA for Video Games and was a part of Dana's RAG. He matured a little more socially and was convinced he had felt love for the first time after meeting Elein. He also credits Elein with unlocking long-dormant emotions and giving him enough confidence to try dancing. He considers it his social turning point.

In 2007, he switched terms again and went to Duke E. for Term 2. He was a member of Daag's RAG and the Practical Politics class. Many probably remember him for his bright yellow shirt and the bunny costume on Wear a Skirt Wednesday. Then he met Megan, with whom he developed a strong relationTIP. At the time of writing, they are still together due to how close they live to each other. Because of his own laziness, he never wrote a will for the term book. Instead it has been written here.

"I, Jeff Listman, being of Marxist mind and body do give all of my worldly possessions to the charity of the closest relative's choosing as inheritance simply prolongs the class struggle. There are, however, two things that need to be taken care of: To all TIPsters, I leave legal rights to use any pictures of me as they see fit, and to Megan, I leave my heart."

He intends to return as an RC following his first year of college.
