Inspired by his Great-Great Uncle sitting on a pail with a hole cut in the side sneaking bluegills in before anyone saw, Jeff credits his Dad, Grandpa and my Great-Great Uncle in the days before most people had a flasher, for his passion for fishing. Residing in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin with his wife Eileen, and children, Robert(11) and Josie(8), he works as Fereration Angler Group’s North Operations Tournament Director. 2025 is Jeff’s 4th WIFC qualification, earlier opportunities included 2012 (Kazakhstan), 2013(Wausau, WI), and 2016 (Ukraine).
