Jeff and Ron met at a national decoy show in Chicago 20 years ago. Sharing many interests, they have been friends ever since. Jeff lives in Livingston, Montana, and loves everything in the outdoors-hunting, fishing, sporting dogs, wildlife and landscapes. He also comes indoors from time to time to photograph products and food. His work has appeared in Ducks Unlimited, The Retriever Journal, Gray's Sporting Journal, Field & Stream, California Waterfowl and Montana Outdoors. Jeff made the 2022 Audubon Photography Awards: The Top 100.Ron's daughter, Christie Gard, has a background in photography and exhibit design.
