From the bite suit to the welding mask—Jeff Hasty’s career path is anything but ordinary.
Jeff was raised around welding and pipe fitting, following his dad's career from state to state. As one of the best welders Jeff’s ever known, his dad gave him an early look into the world he’d eventually return to. Initially, Jeff was pulled toward law enforcement after a Ride-Along sparked a new passion. He built a rewarding career as a police officer and K9 handler in California, suiting up in the bite suit and training alongside his four-legged partner.
When life forced a pivot, Jeff returned to his industrial roots, moving to Illinois to work on power plants—where he stepped into his first leadership role as a superintendent. That experience eventually led him Gross Mechanical, where he now serves as COO of the largest pipe fabrication facility in the area.
When he’s not leading teams at Gross Mechanical, Jeff puts his skills as a Certified Hypnotist to work—helping clients through hypnotherapy.
Tune in for a conversation about pivots, leadership, and the unique life experiences that shape our industry.
