Jeff in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Outside of work, I try to find time for just about everything, but my true passions are athletics and exploring. In addition to my love of team sports, I ride my bike annually in Pelotonia and completed Ironman Wisconsin in 2022. When not training or traveling with my wife, I enjoy relaxing at home playing video games or reading.

Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Being patient.
