Jeff (Pictured on the Left) grew up hunting and fishing the waters of the Midwest. At an early age, Jeff realized that he would like to pursue a career that would lead him to the western United States. He attended Southern Illinois University and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Resource Management. After graduating, Jeff worked as a Recreation Planner & River Technician for several different agencies including the Bureau of Land Management, USDA Forest Service, and US Fish and Wildlife Service. His position with the BLM on the South Fork of the Snake required considerable interaction with outfitters and guides. This is when Jeff discovered an exciting career path. He began working in the outfitting industry soon after. Jeff has a great love for the outdoors and a strong desire to protect our valuable natural resources. He also brings a unique understanding of the necessary skills and knowledge required to ensure safety and enjoyment on the river.
