Jeff Semerad Celebrates 20 Years of Service at Steffes

Jeff Semerad, oil & gas service technician lead at Steffes, recently celebrated 20 years with the company! To honor his years of dedication, we sent Jeff on a vacation of his choice —and he chose Maui, making it even more special as it was his first time flying. Congratulations and thank you for 20 amazing years, Jeff!


To celebrate my 20 years at Steffes, my wife and I took a trip to Hawaii. This vacation was especially meaningful for me because it was my first time flying and my first time seeing the ocean! We were grateful to have some time away together—just the two of us—with no kids, so we could truly relax and enjoy every moment.

During our trip, we went on a few incredible excursions, including a tour of Pearl Harbor, which turned out to be our favorite part of the entire experience. We also visited the Dole Pineapple Plantation and took an island tour to see even more of Hawaii’s beauty. One of the biggest highlights was finally experiencing the ocean in person; the colors were absolutely amazing.

I had been looking forward to this trip for a long time, but I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I’ve never taken a big trip like this before. In the end, it was the perfect chance to recharge, and I’m truly thankful to Steffes for giving me the opportunity to celebrate this milestone in such a special way.
