Jeff started his Information Technology career as a small business IT consultant where he was quickly identified as someone with a knack for explaining technical information to non-technical audiences. Jeff transitioned to the Financial Industry where he spent ten years as the Director of Information Technology & Security. He was identified as a future leader and selected to attend the Credit Union National Association’s (CUNA) Management School at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, resulting in Jeff earning the Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) certification.
Jeff then applied his passion for technology solving crimes for 5 years as a Digital Forensics Analyst for the Michigan State Police. In addition, after obtaining his Master's in Cyber Security, Jeff has served as an adjunct instructor at Northern Michigan University, teaching Cybercrime and Computer Hacking Forensic Investigations.
