Jeff grew up in Portage County, Ohio, where he attended James A. Garfield High School; during his schooling, he won the John Philip Sousa award for his talents in musical composing. As a Garrettsville native, he actively participated in the creation of the village’s Community Players, where he created and directed choreographies for many of the community’s early shows. He later enrolled at Kent State University, where he also co-authored several musicals, and wrote a musical piece for William Shakespeare’s play “Othello”.
His professional career really began when he started working at “The Second City” improvisational comedy enterprise and “Child’s Play Touring Theatre”. However, he soon began composing music for the “Saturday Night Live” TV series. He eventually decided to leave the show in 2006, and compose music for the “30 Rock” TV situation comedy series which was created by his wife, Tina Frey. Jeff occasionally appeared in the show’s episodes as the character Alfonso Disperioso, and as from 2010, he directed five of its episodes: “Argus”, “The Ballad of Kenneth Parcell”, “Plan B”, “Today You are a Man” and “A Goon’s Deed in a Weary World”. For his production of the show’s first three seasons, he earned three Emmy Awards. His net worth was rising consistently.
He proved to be equally successful as a music composer, as he wrote the score for the film “Baby Mama”, which also starred his wife, and the theme song for the “30 Rock” TV series, which brought him an Emmy Award nomination. Some of his other notable appearances include a recurring role on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”. For his theatre engagements, Richmond received the Child’s Play Touring Theatre Victor Award in 2012.
When it comes to his more recent activity, he is currently executively producing and composing for a new web television sitcom “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, also created by his wife.
Privately, Jeff has been married to actress, writer and producer Tina Frey, who is the creator and star of “30 Rock”. The two met while working at “The Second city” and eventually married in a Greek Orthodox ceremony in June 2001. The couple has two daughters.
