| Early Education |
Jeff always did well in school from his first days in class. His natural curiosity drove him always to ask "WHY"? Mother taught him to "Go look it up," the first thing after he could read the alphabet. It was early advice that molded him for superior performance in his later career development. Given his Father's background as an Astrophysicist, it was easy for Jeff to find himself engrossed in theory and he delighted in *looking* for ways to find exceptions to "the rules," where closer examination would prove that because something looks like "it is so," is no reason to accept that "it is *SO*". This ability was to prove his fellow students' undoing on more than one occasion. He loved nothing more than taking on a challenge to "Set up" his closest friends, in harmless ways, to be deceived. (like putting a holoemitter in someone's locker to show a very large hairy tarantula when the light registered the door was open). He graduated with honors from High School, at the age of nineteen. He left the Iotian Lunar Colony then, and spent three years on Vulcan, at the invitation of an old acquaintance of his Father's. He voraciously tore into the study of reason, logic, Physical science, propulsion theory, power systems, the history of war, systemic thinking, and critical observation. "Know Your Enemy, but Know Yourself Best" as one of his Instructors told him, was the best way to ensure your own survival, and everyone else's too. and applied to StarFleet Academy, |

Jeff Westfall found that facts were his friends,and never lied to him. He had learned at his parents' suppertable to be able to converse and frame questions that got meaningful answers, and often in ways that those answering them failed to realize that they were giving up information. Although the physical regimen of his training was intense, and he used his natural advantage He understood the principles of Ferenghi Commerce, and used them (when applicable) to make "deals" that would be favourable to meet his needs (or those of his superiors), without making the other person feel like they were coming out on the "Losing End". Jeff Westfall was known for being a shrewd negotiator, not easily giving up points, or leaving openings to be manipulated. Everyone *hated* playing poker with him, because of his consistent formula: Go home with their "stake" in your latinum account. Westfall's Dictum: Think, Think, Think--Then KICK BUTT! |
