Jeff’s background is as eclectic and wide-ranging as the clients he serves: over 25 years across compliance, risk, and operations, including service as CCO of both large and small broker-dealers and RIAs.
He joined CRC Oyster in 2025 with broad expertise spanning operations, risk, compliance, exams, audit, and governance, including participation in the forensic compliance analysis of two high-profile RIAs under SEC receivership. Jeff takes a practical, strategic approach to compliance, one that balances effective controls with commercial realities and enterprise risk protection. He currently serves as Chairman of the Greater Portland Compliance Association.
Jeff holds a Bachelor of Finance from SUNY Empire State College and the FINRA/Wharton Certified Regulatory and Compliance Professional (CRCP) designation, and maintains Series 4, 7, 8, 24, 53, 57, 63, 65, and 79 securities licenses.
