Not just a man with a nuclear engineering technology degree in his arsenal, Jeff’s passion lies in dissecting businesses and infusing them with the magic sauce of automation and systems.
In this high-octane discussion, we dive deep. Jeff unfolds the complexities of his transition from military life to the civilian hustle, navigating choppy waters and uncharted territories. He talks about feeling the constraints of a nine-to-five, despite having all the outward markers of success. Talk about a guy who doesn’t just rest on his laurels—Jeff's the poster child for rebounding from adversity, and he's got the scars to prove it.
