He is in tune with the power of life transformation and brings a compassion and empathy to the ministry of The Pasture that makes his congregant-care focus incredibly effective.

Jeff enjoys the outdoors and grows shiitake mushrooms in his backyard. He is a die hard Green Bay Packers fan, which assures him a place in heaven someday (That’s a joke.
