As a courageous veteran, Jeff valiantly served two tours for the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. He was part of the Brown Water Navy, patrolling and engaging along the Mekong Delta. His bravery earned him the National Defense Medal, Vietnam Service Metal, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal.
Post-war, Jeff dedicated years to the oil and gas industry, excelling as a lead mechanic for offshore and on shore operations. In 1992, he ventured into entrepreneurship, establishing what was known as Auto Air of Katy and followed with the opening of Tubes and Hoses of Katy in 1997. Tubes and Hoses of Katy then evolved into what is now Katy Hydraulics, LLC. His excellence of service gained a reputation for custom automotive and hydraulic applications still practiced today.
