[edit] Biography
[edit] Early life
He attended College Beaubois High School in Montreal along with other band members Sébastien Lefebvre, Chuck Comeau and Pierre Bouvier, but not David Desrosiers.
Stinco received the nickname Jeff, because many of his non-French fluent friends coudn't pronounce 'Jean-François', so they began to call him 'JF', leading to Jeff.
[edit] Music
Beside his Simple Plan projects, Jeff also contributed to the Rush tribute cd released in 2005 titled Subdivisions: "A Tribute to Rush"" and performs on the Rush hit "The Spirit of Radio" along with Kip Winger.
