Oh hi. I’m Jeff.
I’m a writer and photographer living in suburban Chicagoland with my wife, two kids, and French Bulldog.
I started my career as a magazine writer and photojournalist before shifting to the marketing side of storytelling, where I’ve helped businesses and brands find, shape, and express their voices online through copywriting, compelling imagery, and a strong social media presence. I’ve worked with a range of businesses from small startups to billion-dollar brands in the food + beverage, electric vehicle, and cordless power tool industries.
You can often find me on one of my bikes, perfecting my suburban dad persona or working with my wife on our side hustle as 28 West Creative. Get in touch with me directly at jeffrey.cagle@gmail.com.
