With over 25 years of experience in technology, Jeff founded the Audio/Video division of i.e.Smart Systems.

Jeff brings a positive spirit and his collection of goofy antics to i.e.Smart Systems and we love him for that.

In his personal time, Jeff loves to write, is an avid music lover and audiophile, enjoys collecting relics, and is obsessed with anything Marvel. He and his wife with their four children (all starting with the letter K) will likely be found playing Settlers of Katan (ask him about his family Leader Board), Dominos, and Monopoly. His dog Peekabo Drako is always asking for treats while their furry friend kitty, named Kat, is usually getting yelled at from across the room.
