JEFF LEHMAN

Jeff Lehman is the papa of three adventurous kids and works for WL Gore running machine shop services.  Him and his wife Brittany moved to Flagstaff about six years ago and decided to start DH3 shortly after moving.  Jeffs has spent a lot of time learning a wide variety of skills; as a teenager he had to build his first car to be able to drive.  That's when his love to build and create started as he spent three years building, from the bottom up, a VW Beetle.  His passion continued as he studied Industrial Technology and Business in college and throughout his manufacturing career.  You'll aways find Jeff busy doing something, everything from mountain biking to rebuilding motors in his sons race RZR 170's.
