Jeff was born and raised in the Bay area of Northern california. At the age of 19 he joined the Marine Corps and was off to Southern california. Alas he did not see any kind of combat but very grateful that he got taught how to be a man from the United States Marine corps.

 

After he got out he did some traveling around the country and ended up back in San Diego where he met his now wife. Well in San Diego working at a job fair he was recruited by an oil field company which brought him to Texas. In 2014 the oilfield fell out and he had to figure out how to provide for his now family. Got back into the garage door game and then started his own company in 2020.

 

He tends to joke about quitting his job, starting a company, while his wife was going in for a C-section, during the pandemic, all in the same week. Iconic exteriors has been around since 2020 and has been flourishing ever since.

 

Remember, The customer you are with is your last customer until you are finished.
