I have more than 40 years of experience in the software industry, including Mainframe z/OS, z/VM, z/Linux, Intel Linux, Windows, and even AS/400s! I speak COBOL, HLASM, C#, Software Design, and Project Management fluently. I support Fujitsu COBOL for .Net V8 and V9 and IBM Enterprise COBOL. I am also conversant in a few more esoteric languages, like RPG. CMS-2Q, Fabric, CICS, NeoKICS, and more.

Let's talk about what you need done!More...

CPO brain, founder grit, and a marketer's soul. Jeffery is the kind of leader who doesn’t just build companies—he engineers momentum. As Co-Founder of Firestarter Labs and CEO of Firestarter Marketing, he’s on a mission to arm small businesses and solo entrepreneurs with AI-powered tools that actually work. Strategic by default and scrappy by choice, he sees through marketing fluff with laser precision and replaces it with actionable, high-impact execution.
Whether he’s crafting GTM strategies, launching products, or coaching seasoned leaders past mindset plateaus, Jeffery brings the same clarity and conviction. He’s a storyteller, a tactician, and a builder all in one. He thinks like a product strategist, talks like a brand evangelist, and executes like a Navy SEAL with a content calendar.
