When asked why he serves on the board, Jeff responded, "I want to help bring safe and clean water to the people of the district, be part of the team that continues to work toward finding a compromise that will reduce the nitrogen we put in the soil for crop production in hopes of lowering the level of nitrates in our drinking water."

Jeff wishes more people understood that the NRD has many responsibilities that are all equally important. "The NRD has many responsibilities and all are equally important.  It’s important to remember that as a board member we represent all people and all interests," he said.
