It provided enormous opportunities for our students to gain real-world experience in producing and broadcasting home athletic events in collaboration with major media companies such as ESPN+ and Cox. It also provided remarkable exposure for the institution. Jeff’s vision provided opportunities none of us had conceived of, such as fiber-optic infrastructure across campus linking critical facilities into the broadcast center, allowing us to stream live from every athletic field and court—a game-changer in our industry. Jeff works hard and needs little direction, but always checks in for feedback and guidance. I also enjoyed the opportunity to work on major events with Jeff, like 1000-person speaker events with famous journalists and media celebrities. Jeff was the brains behind much of the staging and flow of events. He has a keen eye for detail and an ability to see many facets of a project. His decades of experience in the industry shine through. Finally, Jeff is a wonderful mentor to students he hires and teaches. His classes are popular and students find the material exciting and challenging. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Jeff again.", and "Jeff's expertise and decades long involvement in TV enabled him to create a state of the art broadcast center at URI that looks and functions like a professional production facility.
