Digital Forensics
Upon graduating from college Jeff started his Information Technology career as a small business IT consultant. It was during this career where Jeff quickly identified as someone that had the knack for explaining technical information to non-technical audiences.
After five years in the consulting arena, Jeff transitioned to the Financial Industry where he spent ten years as the Director of Information Technology & Security. Jeff was identified as a future leader and selected to attend the Credit Union National Association’s (CUNA) Management School at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, resulting in Jeff earning the Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) certification.
Jeff next spent five years of his career solving crimes as a Digital Forensic Analyst for the Michigan State Police. In addition, after obtaining his Masters in Cyber Security, Jeff is also an adjunct instructor at Northern Michigan University, teaching Cybercrime and Computer Hacking Forensic Investigations. Bringing the Cybercrime and Digital Forensics’ focus to Northern Michigan University, Jeff was instrumental in creating an interdisciplinary minor in Cybercrime & Digital Forensics, offered to the Criminal Justice, Cyber Defense, and Computer Science Majors.
Jeff has now brought his wealth of experience and expertise to Evidence Solutions, working as a Senior Digital Forensics Analyst and Expert Witness. His previous and current forensics work, profound technical knowledge, and extensive experience testifying make him a highly regarded expert in the field.
