From the ability to open doors with your ID card to our ability to accept credit cards, Jeff's work touched most everyone on campus. He was vital to IT and the entire Bradley family. Jeff also loved playing the piano, listening to music and was proud of his collection of over 10,000 songs he had on his phone. He also enjoyed Star Trek, musicals and was an instrument rated pilot.
