Bio
Patrick S.
Jeff has that rare combination of truly technical skills with solid management ability. He can seamlessly switch gears from BGP and routing to call ladders and trunks, all while resizing an LVM disk, as he directs his employees to similar tasks. Most talented folks lose much of their "low-level" tech skills as their vision and responsibility expand into management and beyond, but Jeff manages to do both extremely well. It was an honor and a privilege working with and for him, and I hope I'll be able to do so again in the future.
