Jeff Devlin, one of two carpenters on Spice Up My Kitchen.

Born and raised in and around Philadelphia, Pa., Jeff Devlin spent most of his early life "borrowing" tools from his dad and taking everything in the house apart, and then trying to put it back together. Although always intrigued by carpentry, life steered him in another creative direction. Devlin has been working in television for almost 10 years now, but it was actually on the production side of things. He decided to start his own video production company in 2000. From commercials to concerts and even a few renovation shows, he was always the one behind the scenes. Now in front of the camera, he's at home being able to combine his love for both television and carpentry.

Prior to video production, Devlin worked for a company that renovated historic homes. His love for fixing things and strong attention to detail has led him to independently accomplish the complete renovation of two old Pennsylvania farmhouses — one being the house of his dreams that he shares with his loving wife, two children and one crazy chocolate lab.
