Jeff and I met through a mutual show that was cancelled. Due to the surprise we chatted about it on Facebook. Soon we were talking about the next available show in Reno. He said he was invited to the Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity and wasn’t sure if he was going to attend. After a couple of days passed, he contacted me and asked if I would like to share the large 12’ x 20’ booth, as he didn’t have much inventory due to all his sales at the Reno Rodeo recently. I said, “Yes, that sounds like a good show and I have never been a Vendor there.”
After scheduling with the Vendor contact, Jeff and I soon met at the show. He and another gal, Lorri Myler of Cowgirl Gypsy Art (Blog post about her coming soon!) shared their half of the booth. It was a nice mix of Western home decor. We all spent the next week getting to know each other.

Jeff is from Reno, Nevada. He shared that he cowboy’d most of his life. Many of those years were in Montana. His back and body took a beating over those years, and due to necessity of a new career, he has chosen to follow his passion of working with leather full time. He shared with me that he is self taught and enjoys sharing his talent by teaching others the trade as well.
Jeff does a variety of works with leather, including his specialty of hand tooling artwork that he then frames. One large piece is of the Nevada State Seal! He also uses hide and tooled leather to restore and or, beautify furniture. Recently he had a very large order for hundreds of belts for a mining company at an event in Lake Tahoe.
