Jeff Peddle was born in Labrador City, raised in Newfoundland, and spent years working on George Street-earning a reputation as the guy who could break up a bar fight and pour a shot of Lamb's in the same breath. A world traveller, master Rummelier, and storyteller by blood, Jeff's adventures have taken him from tiki bars to pirate hideouts, with more laughs than a Legion meat draw. He's the kind of guy who shows up with a rum bottle in one hand, a tale in the other, and always leaves folks smiling.
