Craft3 welcomes Jeffrey Hernandez as an Operations Administrator. His work ethic and dedication help Craft3 run a tight ship. The maritime idiom is appropriate because Jeffrey previously served for 20 years in the U.S. Coast Guard. Drawn to Craft3 by its reputation and mission, he says that he was excited to be part of Craft3’s mission of financial empowerment. He states, “Financial empowerment is something my wife and I are trying to instill in our children.” At home in Astoria, Oregon, Jeffrey enjoys time with family and friends, NFL games, and coaching his daughter's soccer team.
