Jeff’s marine trimming career began in New Zealand, where he worked for Salthouse Marine Group, one of the country's most respected motor launch builders. His dedication to craftsmanship earned him the opportunity to travel to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where he worked on Paul Allen’s Superyacht, Tatoosh — one of the world’s most luxurious long-range cruisers.

That experience reflects the standard Jeff brings to every project — from tenders to superyachts, he applies the same precision, care, and commitment to perfection.
