Jeff and Ebony share a strong passion for agriculture and family farming. Life revolves around the grain and oilseed farm in northeastern Saskatchewan they operate with their daughters Harper and Londyn. They focus on maximizing production efficiency in their crops to deliver the best yields and quality. Technology plays an important role in their operation, using variable rate fertilizer and seed application, and the latest seed genetics.

Off the farm, Jeff has a special interest in helping advance good policy for young farmers. He sits on several industry boards that play a role in developing policy at the provincial and federal levels, and also lends his time to groups focused on networking and education.
