Meet the Victory Auto Service Team
As Brand President of Victory Auto Service & Glass, Jeff Matt leads the brand in achieving its goals and driving success. With a passion for building a first-class organization, Jeff finds immense reward in shaping a company that reflects his original vision and values since Victory’s founding on March 1, 1997.
Originally from Minnesota, Jeff and his wife, Debby, now split their time between Minnesota and Florida. Married for 36 years, the couple cherishes their family, which includes two married children and three energetic grandsons.
Jeff’s free time is all about family, sports, and outdoor fun. A longtime Minnesota Vikings and Timberwolves fan, he has held season tickets for over 25 years. When he’s not cheering on his favorite teams, he enjoys fishing, staying up to date with current events, and watching shows like Shark Tank and Hard Knocks. Sharing laughs with his grandsons over AFV is a particular highlight.
Jeff’s journey started humbly, riding his bicycle to a small diner to clean grills. His early entrepreneurial spirit also saw him mowing lawns and shoveling sidewalks for neighbors. Over the years, his sense of community and generosity has grown, exemplified by his frequent travels to India, where he and his wife have informally adopted multiple families and two orphan girls who lovingly call them Mom and Dad.
Jason Matt is the General Manager at Victory Auto Service & Glass, where he oversees daily operations and communication with location and area managers. With nearly 26 years at the company, Jason values the balance of working for a large organization while maintaining a family-like atmosphere. He finds great fulfillment in being part of something bigger than himself.
Born and raised in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, Jason now resides on six acres in Nowthen, Minnesota, with his wife of 31 years, Christina. They have five children ranging from 31 to 14, two grandchildren, and three pets: Max, a Great Dane; Kobe, a Pitbull/Great Dane mix; and Baby, an elderly cat.
Jason enjoys spending time with his family, listening to 80s rock, and savoring Indian cuisine. One of his most memorable experiences was a mission trip to Manila, Philippines, at age 16 with a Christian rock band. Inspired by the quote, “Stop limiting yourself by your weaknesses,” Jason approaches life and work with positivity and determination.
