Jeff Kirkbride has decided to step away from his position as Official Congress Photographer. He has served as the Official Congress Photographer for the past 14 years. “I am not ending my career as a photographer, but reassessing what direction and focus I want to take in the future,” Jeff states. An Ohio native, Jeff has been around the Congress his entire life. He first exhibited at the Congress in 13 & under events and later raised a Congress Futurity Champion.

Dr, Scott Myers, Executive Director commented, “Jeff has been part of the Congress Family for many years. We appreciate his service to the Congress, and wish him and his wife, Cheree, the very best in their future endeavors.”
