Jaeger has been creating both small-scale, colored-pencil drawings and large-scale, computer graphic murals of athletes and sports teams nationwide for 16 years. From the intricate facial shadings of professional golfers participating in the United States Ryder Cup to the beautifully conceived memorial for Gary Tinsley, a University of Minnesota (U of M) football player who passed away last summer, his work proves to be impeccably detailed and thoroughly thought out.

His focus is in the sports field and his works have included TCF Bank Stadium, the Metrodome, Met Stadium, Target Field, Xcel Energy Center, and both Mariucci and Williams Arenas. The majority of his work resides in Minnesota—he occasionally works on other projects within the Midwest.
