Jeppsson received his education at Lund University and worked as CEO for Inwido.
After a couple of years being active in both sports he decided to quit football in favour of becoming a professional table tennis player.
Jeppsson had his active career at the same time as Sweden was dominating the table tennis world in the 1970s and the 1980s.
After growing tired of the life as a professional player he decided to focus on a civil career and started studying international economy at Lund University.
In 2010 when Madsen decided not to stand for re-election Jeppsson was the only candidate to succeed him and did so on 18 February 2010.
