CEO

Bio

Jeff was born and raised in the Chicago southwest suburbs. His first entrepreneurial endeavor was selling greeting cards and stationery door-to-door at age 12. During his teenage years, an interest in technology led to informal sales of computer hardware and consulting. At age 17, recommended by his high-school technology teacher, Jeff was selected to lead tech support for a local school district. His second customer was a local accounting firm whose owner became a key mentor, providing the advice that led Jeff to bootstrap his first company, AIS, Inc.

The first of his family to enter college, Jeff was accepted into the University of Illinois' College of Engineering, where he met future business partner Sean Casey. Jeff left after the first semester to focus his time and financial resources on growing AIS without outside capital for the next nine years, building an experienced executive team to continue strong growth as he transitioned out of an operational role.

In 2011, seeing how smartphones were enabling a new generation of on-demand services, Jeff co-founded Shiftgig to bring better choice, convenience, and flexibility to light industrial staffing. He was inducted into the University of Illinois' Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame in 2013. By 2017, Shiftgig had raised nearly $60 million in outside capital and grown to an experienced executive team, over 200 internal employees, and tens of thousands of people using the Shiftgig mobile app to work when, where, and how they wanted.

Later in 2017, Jeff transitioned out of an operational role at Shiftgig to focus on building IT security and infrastructure solutions that bring enterprise features and functionality to the SMB market. Always enjoying a challenge, Jeff completed the Chicago Marathon without training and races cars in his spare time.
