After graduating he decided to go to the Military because he was passionate about his nation, education, and protecting others. While serving in the United States Chief of Naval Operations for 3.5 years he decided to become an engineer.

He later completed 95% of his classes at Montgomery College Rockville/Silver Spring Maryland/ Gwinnett Technical College Georgia studying for his Bachelor's Degree in HVAC Engineer. “Jeff” loved listening to music, laughing, being with his family, having fun with friends, and was dedicated to his studies.

He continued pressing on and moving toward the mark of God even in his weakest state. He was determined to complete his degree in HVAC Engineering.
