Working for and with Jeff was one of the highlights in my military career. As a leader he is an empowering individual who's goals of mission accomplishment and quality product were evenly matched with his personal integrity, appreciation for ideas for improvement from the bottom up, and his genuine concern for the welfare of his employees. He is one of the top officers I worked with, and I would eagerly serve with him again.
