Jeff M

IT Director

Bio

One day Jeff decided he should pick a major before graduating, so he researched many fields (the old way--with books--shudder) and discovered that IT grads had an excellent starting salary. His love of money and computers was born. Fifteen years later he plays games, writes (badly), and maintains computer systems and networks. He is lucky enough to be married and be a father to a little boy. He is unlucky enough to own a cat.
