Jeff Quick

Senior Editor

Jeff Quick is on the streets. He’s asking the hard questions. He’s taking down names. He’s editing the blog. He’s got eyes like AI art. He’s seen this before.

He’s walking the perimeter. He’s running the numbers. He’s hot on the trail. He takes no for an answer, but he’ll be back later for his yes. Then he’ll have both answers.

He’s your best nightmare. He’s happy and he knows it. Clap your hands. He’s never coming back, but you can go with him. Don’t sleep on Jeff Quick.
