Trail riding with his dad is one of his favorite hobbies; Arkansas has many beautiful locations for riding, and taking an old Jeep through the trails is always enjoyable.

Born in Hawaii to a military family, Jefferson's father served in the US Army. During his younger years, he moved around to Louisiana and Georgia, finally settling in the small town of Atkins, Arkansas, where his mother's family is from. He graduated high school in 2017 in a class of 65 students. Jefferson then attended Arkansas Tech University to pursue his bachelor's degree in computer science while working at Chick-fil-A. After completing his degree in 2021, he moved to Lonoke, Arkansas, where his then-fiancée lived. In September 2021, he married his wife Kayla in Morrilton at Camp Mitchell.

He found his first job in his field at DNT Media as a web developer, where he worked for two years. During his time at DNT Media, he and his wife bought a house in the neighboring town, where they currently live. In 2023, he left DNT Media to further his career at the United States District Court in Little Rock as a Developer / Systems Specialist, where he is currently employed.
