I met Jeff several years ago when he attended his first-ever Farrier Clinic at Centaur Forge in Burlington, Wisconsin. I was a clinician, and he was a new hire for the American Farriers Journal. We hit it off, and it has been a pleasure to follow his career and see Jeff at Farrier events around the country.
Jeff has taken on a new role as the main man at the American Farriers Journal, and he was in the heartland for a few days on assignment. I convinced him to sit down with me and tell his story. You're going to enjoy getting to know the man behind the magazine.
We are cleared for takeoff.
