About Us

Jen is a 6th generation Oregonian well rooted in natural resource industries. 

Jen grew up in Oregon on the native soil of the mighty Douglas fir, the main tree species her family’s company grew and milled into lumber. 

Jen's Dad’s side has made their living on the sea for generations, from commercial fishing, tugging and providing fuel from their dock to fishermen. 

She has sawdust and fish scales running through her blood. 

For the past several years Jen has been deeply involved in this movement which supports and protects natural resource industry jobs, families, and communities. 

Jeff was born and raised in North Portland in the small neighborhood of Saint Johns, the tip of a peninsula between the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Born to a boilermaker and with a grandfather who worked at Linton Plywood he was destined to work in a trade.  He chose logging after being a journeyman iron worker. 

Jeff lives in Claskanie with his fiancé and two boys and drives a log truck for a family company he considers a part of his family.  He ignited a spark that grew like wildfire and became the most effective grassroots group in Oregon’s history. Since then he spends his time supporting his family, helping others and passionately advocating for our natural resource industries and the future of our State. 

Jeff believes in the Lord Jesus Christ who guides him every day.
