Jeffery J. Jensen
Purchasing Manager
I’m a dedicated father of 4 and proud grandfather to 10, balancing family life with a fulfilling career as a civil engineer in Las Vegas, Nevada. My faith as a follower of Jesus Christ (member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) guides my daily life and decisions. When not working, I cherish time spent visiting my children scattered across Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and North Carolina by creating lasting memories with each trip. Committed to personal growth and health, I start my mornings at Burn Boot Camp. At 55 (born 1969), I may be the eldest in class, and while burpees remain my nemesis, the experience keeps me grounded (code word for humble) and reminds me there’s always room for improvement when you’re at the bottom 🙂 This blend of family, faith, profession, and personal improvement defines my journey and keeps me, somewhat young at heart.
