Jeff grew up in an automotive family in rural southern Michigan. His grandfather owned a Ford dealership in the 1940s, and his father started an automotive manufacturing business with his high school friend in 1958. Lane spent countless hours in the family garage, and by the time he was ten he was helping his dad restore a 1954 MG TF.

Now director of the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, he spends his hours searching for unique cars to add to the collection.
