SIGUCCS 2014 BYOD Speaker – Jeff Civillico

SIGUCCS 2014 is full of fantastic speakers, including Jeff Civillico from Win-Win Entertainment and The Quad Resort & Casino in Las Vegas!

Jeff is the Founder and President of Win-Win Entertainment, a non-profit which pairs performers willing to donate their time and talent with charity organizations in need of entertainment. Jeff is also ridiculous. He holds a world record for bungee jumping on his unicycle off a cliff in New Zealand, and goes “joggling” for fun. “Joggling” = juggling while jogging. He raised $5000+ as a team member of “Athletes for Special Kids” by joggling all 26.2 miles of the Disney Marathon.
