BACKSTORY

Hello, I’m Seth Jankovsky. I live in the Western Twin Cities with my wife of 17 years Hannah, and our nine great kids, who range in age from 15 down to 1. And yes, I am related to Paul — we’re brothers, in fact. What are the odds that two guys from the same family end up as co-Service Heros, you ask? Pretty high, if you consider we have a very big family, and that we both have a passion for serving people. My personal journey has taken me through a lot of interesting turns, but I’ve always been about serving and fixing things. I began learning the art of auto repair at the age of 13, which launched a long run as a mechanic. I’ve worked as a software release engineer for Home Depot Corporate, earning platinum level customer service awards. I even spent time as a commercial coffee vending and repair technician fixing stuff like brewers and cappuccino machines before transitioning to home and commercial appliance repair. Along the way, I earned a BA in theology and multicultural studies, then served in the mission field (World Vision) in East Africa where I was coordinating programs, training missionaries, teaching, writing, and publishing. Family time is #1 for us. We love to travel and find adventure wherever we go, and in whatever we’re doing – whether it’s a trip to the pet store or designing, making, and flying kites together. Hannah home-schools our kids, and we’ve transformed our yard into a “food forest” where we practice urban permaculture, growing onions, garlic, chives, peppers, rhubarb, berries, and lots of things we can use and eat.

MISSION PROFILE

I love being in a position to help people. Integrity is a big deal to me. I love that Omega Force is about doing the right thing, going the extra mile, and doing what’s right by the customer no matter what. My “superpower” is that I notice everything. (I can help you find your car keys, if you like.) I’m also heavy ADHD (that’s a superpower, right?), so working with lots of people in a lot of situations with lots of different challenges occupies my mind, excites me, and helps me focus my energy.
