About Me
Since my days in college when I read Plato’s Analogy of the Cave, I’ve been a disciple of Socrates and attempted to live by his motto: “The unexamined Life is not worth Living”. This philosophy has moved me through a spectrum of scientific and spiritual interests, two topics most believe are at odds, but for me a converging path that will unfold in the future. The bounty of natural beauty, human pleasures, diversity in people & ideas, music, sports, literature, technology and last but not least travel, all make this journey worth living.
In December 2021, I traveled back to Atlanta for the holidays and recorded 10 original songs with the help of my nephew Noah on lead guitar. I’ve posted a few of those songs here and hope you enjoy them.

Feelin' About You
Feelin' Alive
“I’ve worked very closely with Jeff of the last five years through some very challenging projects. His expertise in user experience, wire framing and information architecture increased conversion and higher time on site activity. Through thoughtful, clear and simple design, he was able to rally various stakeholders to consensus and keep projects on budget and time. He balances heuristic evaluations with key metrics, qualitative and quantitative data to inform his understanding of user behavior. Jeff works equally well with executives, peers and vendors, bringing alignment but never at the sacrifice of his user-centered approach. Plus, he’s cool and fun to work with.”
Dan McCorriston
Director at AT&T
“Jeff is an immensely knowledgeable guy, an innovative thinker, and a personable leader. His knowledge of technologies and trends, both existing and upcoming, is very impressive, as is his ability to apply this knowledge to big-picture marketing and strategies. He is acutely analytical; innovative and a great motivator of people. Jeff brought numerous opportunities to the table, some of which were the first to be implemented at Allconnect. It was a pleasure working with Jeff and any opportunity to work with him again would be a pleasure.”
Mark Messenger
Senior UX Architect, Designer
“Leveraging his strong project management background, Jeff did a great job in his role as Director of Operations at Studiocom. He kept projects running smoothly, improving time management, trafficking and overall systems infrastructures. We were sorry to see Jeff go and wished him the very best for the future.”
