People thought Jeff was a computer geek until he started pointing out that he was never really a geek at all, although he did perform a radio program as The Computer Answer Guy in the late 90s and brought that persona to CBS Television's Up To The Minute national news program. Reality? Over a long and varied career, Jeff exhibited a talent for translating geek to business and speaking business with geeks. At the turn of the millennium, Jeff sold his equity positions in Denver-based Planet Computer Inc. and San Francisco's PlusMedia Broadcasting, both of which operated using business models designed by him and implemented under his direct supervision. Doing business as PlanetUplink, Planet Computer was one of the first Application Service Providers, while PlusMedia produced and distributed news and entertainment programming via the internet, broadcast radio, and television. Introduced in 2004, PC-VIP is the way Jeff took nearly twenty years of experience and made computers work better for people.
