After 40 years at RGA, Jeff Powell is officially retiring—though we’re still not convinced he won’t show up one morning out of habit.
Jeff started his career in the field as a survey crew member, worked his way up to crew chief, and eventually moved inside to take on computation worksheets, stakeout prep, and probably every other task no one else wanted. He’s been a mentor to many and a master of the well-timed sarcastic remark.
Sure, he could get a little fired up now and then—but that just meant he cared (and that you probably deserved it). His mix of precision, dry humor, and zero tolerance for nonsense has kept us all sharp—and often laughing.
We’re grateful for all Jeff has given to RGA: decades of knowledge, dedication, and personality that can’t be replaced. Enjoy retirement, Jeff—you’ve more than earned it!
