KB9GXK Jeff Parrish
I run a small IT consultancy around Zion, IL, tinker with self-hosted infrastructure and Rust in my spare time, and have been licensed as a ham operator since 1990.
About Me
I'm the owner of Jeff Parrish PC Services, a part-time IT consultancy serving small businesses around Zion, IL — networking, Microsoft 365, and everything in between, with a particular soft spot for Ubiquiti UniFi gear. Most recently I spent time as a Sr. Data Center Engineer helping build out a Microsoft AI datacenter, and for nearly eight years before that I was Director of Technology, Safety & Security at Bayside Terrace, LLC in Waukegan, IL.
Outside of work, I was born in 1974, married my wife Lisa (Munson) Parrish in 2003, and we volunteer together at church and for a non-profit radio group. We own a bit of property in Wilson, MI, where we plan to eventually retire. We also share our home with our cat, Charcole.
