JEFF
VARNER's BIO as we first saw it on the CBS
Survivor Website: |
Jeff Varner is an internet project manager, having
most recently worked as Director of People and
Process for a Manhattan start-up company. There he
developed and managed the technical and
interpersonal aspects  of
a Human Resources/Operations hybrid system for a
staff of 30. Prior employment includes work as a
website producer, graphic designer and marketing
manager for various companies.
Varner obtained a
Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Earlier
employment included stints as a waiter, bartender
and traveling salesperson. He is most proud of
successfully making the transition from small town
living to the much faster pace of a big city.
An aggressive athlete, he
first put on a pair of skates when he was two
years old and has since played competitive hockey
(right defense) for 16 years, though he admits he
spent most of the time in the penalty box.
Additionally, he studied martial arts, receiving a
black belt in Tae Kwon Do when he was 15 years
old. While pursuing his degree with UNC, he was
Captain of the National Champion Tar Heel Cheer
Team (1989-90). He is an avid rollerblader,
spending many afternoons skating through
Manhattan's busy streets.
Varner describes himself
as provocative, energetic, competitive,
adventurous, and a free spirit who will try
anything twice. His favorite television show is
Sex and the City while his favorite feature films
are Coal Miner's Daughter and The Matrix. He likes
all kinds of music, especially that which
motivates.
His perfect day includes
a trip to the mountains with someone special for a
day of hiking and nature (including a swim at a
breathtaking waterfall). The day finishes with a
jog, a shower, a bottle of Merlot, a ruthless game
of backgammon, and great sex.
Born and raised in
Greensboro, North Carolina, Varner currently lives
in Manhattan, New York. He is a member of the
Society of Human Resources. His respect, love and
concern for children motivates him to volunteer
for organizations and charities that support kids
with need. Currently, he is researching burn
trauma organizations for kids with the hope of
making a difference.
