Jeff Knight is a cybersecurity leader, U.S. Navy veteran, and lifelong dog enthusiast whose connection to Alaskan Malamutes spans nearly two decades. Since purchasing his first Malamute in 2006, Jeff has worked closely with breed rescues, served as a member of the Alaskan Malamute Club of America, and found in these dogs a source of enduring inspiration. He is also the founder of Maya’s Spark of Courage Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting children and families through storytelling and animal-assisted outreach.

Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Adult Learning and Leadership, Jeff teaches as an adjunct professor, helping shape the next generation of IT professionals and leaders. Frozen Frontlines is his debut novel, a deeply personal work of historical fiction that blends his passion for storytelling, history, and the unbreakable bond between humans and dogs.

He lives in the American Midwest with his wife, their Malamutes, and more sled dog stories than he knows what to do with.
