Loving father, faithful husband, kindhearted son, beloved brother, generous uncle, loyal friend, wise mentor, dedicated leader, innovator, strategist, builder and craftsman, lover of languages, missionary, spiritual leader, lover and follower of the Lord. Jeff took part in the Adventures in Missions Training Program in Lubbock and spent 27 months as a missionary in Yugoslavia. He received a Liberal Arts BA from LCU and Computer Science MD from TTU. Jeff joined RiskMetrics in 2000 where he and his wife, Trina, found their dream jobs working together on the frontiers of technology. RiskMetrics pioneered cloud-based financial risk management, where Jeff led the platform architecture and development. After the company sold in 2010, Jeff and Ken Parker left to co-found NextThought LLC in 2011, an innovative education technology company based in Norman, Oklahoma. He viewed each employee as a person first, a employee second, and worked diligently to make NextThought a place where innovation and creativity flourish, people thrive, lifelong friends are made, and technology is advanced. He considered his greatest success and joy his wife Trina and son Jasper. He loved both fiercely and always found time to dedicate to them. He taught Jasper lessons and strategies in video games, school work, sports, world history, and matter of the heart. He enjoyed supporting Jasper's beloved school Terra Verde. Jeff's deep and profound faith and belief in God was unshakable throughout his life. His devotion to knowledge, truth, love, but especially his understanding of God's heart was what drew people to want to spend time with him.
