I care about my Christian faith, my wife, ultralight backpacking, and computers. I've run a marathon without training, and I've hiked 50 miles in 24 hours with a full pack.

I really enjoy beating the system--for example, when I was 19, I got a college degree instead of a highscool diploma and when I interned at TechCrunch, I hired a team of people overseas and completely outsourced my job. You can read more random adventures at my blog: http://www.jeffwidman.com.

Professionally, I've been cited an expert in Facebook marketing by the Wall Street Journal, AdAge, Wired, Mashable, TechCrunch, Inc, Entrepreneur, InsideFacebook, AllFacebook, etc.

I helped YouTube become the fastest growing fan page in all of Facebook, without even spending money on ads. Other companies I've advised include Microsoft, Intel, Washington Redskins, Mint.com, etc.

Currently, I'm cofounder of the Facebook analytics tool PageLever (http://PageLever.com).

PageLever measures more than 1 billion Facebook fans across customers that include 4 of the 10 largest Facebook pages.
