Strong Water Tech is the professional nexus of Jeff's entrepreneurial spirit and passion for the first responder community. It was through Jeff’s experiences operating as a USFS Engine Contractor working the worst fires in US history, where Jeff recognized that the firefighting industry was in urgent need of innovation. Jeff was struck by the alarming losses and human impact he was experiencing on the front lines and told himself, “We need to do better!” So began Jeff's drive to create a cutting-edge wildfire suppression technology to help our brave first responders in the fight against the modern-day mega-wildfires that are currently ravaging the planet.

Starting at a young age, Jeff pursued a diverse professional background, taking him out of the typical business environment and into the iconoclastic and adventurous world of a professional Mariner and Commercial diver. The seasonal contract work of these professions enabled him to pursue and excel at a variety of action sports (Surfing & Big Mountain Skiing), which strengthened his connection to wildland environments throughout the planet.

It was a life-changing injury, the loss of his dominant arm, sustained in a shipboard accident working as a Professional Mariner on the Bering Sea, that redirected the course of Jeff's life forever. His personal mission became focused on what he would give back to the world.

Jeff remains dedicated to adventure sports, despite the effects of his injury, and is currently well rewarded in his position as an Athletic Ambassador for the Patagonia Company, Save the Waves Foundation and 1% For the Planet Foundation. To Jeff, these honorable nominations have served as inspirational springboards toward creating the sustainable and socially responsible business model of Strong Water Tech Co.
