Fun Facts about Jeff: He has an appreciation for four-legged animals that started growing up in Pennsylvania. His family raised cattle and occasionally his dad would bring a young horse home from the sale barn for Jeff to ride. He had a neighbor that rode bulls and when Jeff went to a rodeo with him, his passion for bull riding was born. He went to the University of Tennessee – Martin where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in animal science. He also won the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association championship in 2010. He gives a lot of credit for his success in and out of the arena to his rodeo coach John Luthi who taught him how to set small goals as steps to big goals. Now Jeff is headed to his sixth Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He will do that with his wife, Tianti, by his side every step of the way. Their marriage is the definition of partnership. Tianti is a veterinarian who has started her own clinic and Jeff goes on calls with her and provides business support. Their family is growing too. They just announced that there is a new Askey on the way, so they have a lot to celebrate.
