Jeff Bayer will be sharing his lifelong involvement with famous people and popular events in American culture.

Jeff began his photojournalism career as a game day assistant to the Public Relations team in the San Francisco 49ers Press Box in 1971.  During this period, he also began working with legendary radio reporter Sam Skinner covering all the Bay Area sports teams for almost twenty years.

Jeff’s first year as a 49ers field photographer was in 1980.  The 49ers won their first of five Super Bowls the following year.  By the mid-1980s, he was working more closely with the team and was privileged to travel with the 49ers for over 15 years.  He has been the featured photographer in three 49er books and has multiple awards from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  He is listed in the 49ers Media Guide as one of the team’s “Historical Photographers”.

In 1999, he was asked to become Director of Operations of the 49ers Foundation, the non-profit arm of the team.  This began another chapter in his life – non-profit management.  Upon moving to Arizona and Leisure World ten years ago, Jeff began working with Copa Health, formerly Marc Community Resources.  Copa ‘s name should be familiar as they operate the Rendezvous Café within Leisure World.

Over his career, Jeff has also covered professional golf, baseball and even a little basketball.  He is the lead photographer at the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf event held annually at Lake Tahoe.

He will use a mixture of music and stories of his travels through the years.  He has used his camera for many events from concerts to star-studded events and important ceremonies.  Come and enjoy his enthusiastic telling of his involvement in various events.

Please join him on Wednesday, February 19 in the Hopi/Pima Room at 6:00 pm.  This FREE event is co-sponsored by Leisure World Foundation and the Leisure World Rec Department.  Refreshments are also sponsored by Desert Financial:  Wills and Trust Division.
