Jeffery Rogers grew up in Newell, West Virginia, a town best known for Fiestaware and the Mountaineer Casino. A graduate of West Virginia Wesleyan College, Jeffery realized soon that the question most asked by political science majors who didn't go to law school and history majors who didn't go to grad school is "Do you need a fitting room?" He doubled down on college and received his MBA just in time for the economy and his marriage to implode. Jeffery has become a threat intelligence expert through academic study and background research for fiction projects, and can speak to most contemporary cyber, information, and physical security issues. He has worked as a consultant in support of international football champions, luxury hotels, and a steadily declining number of top retail brands, and has written tremendous content in support of Good Automated Manufacturing Process, ITIL, and Lean Six Sigma, all of which are buried under thick layers of NDAs. A former spokesperson for the Kmart Kids Against Drugs program, Jeffery smiles knowing Kmart is only big in Australia nowadays. He is the author Driving the Spikes, Adam's Apple, Told You So, five unfinished novels, and a few hundred pages of content he knows nothing about (so quit asking). He currently resides in Chapel Hill, NC, but proudly lives on "the Wal-Mart side of the tracks", and has been known to turn up in Ocean Isle Beach on a regular basis.
