Jeff Ma, MIT standout, card counter, and best-known as the subject of the best-selling book Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of How Six MIT Students Took Vegas for Millions, and as portrayed in the hit movie 21. Ma shows companies how to harness the power of numbers to make better bottom line business decisions; decisions that, often, are the difference between winning and losing.

For six years, Jeff Ma was a member of the MIT Blackjack team, an infamous cabal of hyper-geniuses and anarchistic whiz kids who devised a method of card counting that took the gaming world completely by surprise. Under the pseudonym of 'Kevin Lewis', Jeff Ma's life story is the focus of the New York Times bestseller, Bringing Down the House.

A baby-faced card-counting team with impressive mathematical skills, Jeff Ma and his fellow MIT students turned gambling into a business. Their system was so successful, it took nearly two years before the casinos began to catch on, engaging in a cat-and-mouse war with the well-trained MIT conspirators. The card savants, with a system for playing large and winning big, took on some of the world's most sophisticated casinos for more than three million dollars. But their success also brought the formidable ire of casino owners and launched them into the seedy underworld of corporate Vegas.

Today, Jeff Ma is the Co-Founder & VP of Research at Citizen Sports, Inc. With a tremendous passion for sports, Jeff co-founded the company in 2004. He has been the technology lead for two internet startups and was an options trader on the Chicago Board of Options Exchange.

Jeff is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a degree in mechanical engineering.
