Even in the past, Jeff and Catie have taken the initiative for events like this and have impacted the community.

Jeff and Catie have massive faith in Christianity, as we often see Jeff quoting bible verses; for instance, Francoeur has the phrase “Joshua 1:9” written on his glove strap.

Inside The Dream House Of Jeff & Catie

Atlanta is the couple’s sanctuary; as Catie said, “We’ll always keep Atlanta as our forever home.”

Jeff added, “There’s everything I want to do in Atlanta: Family, church, sports, and golf.”

Therefore in 2012, they built a custom home on the golf course at the River Club in Suwanee, a part of the Atlanta metropolitan area.

As Jeff wished, the house was maneuvered with unpretentious furnishings for comfortable sofas and chairs.

It also includes a formal living room with a grand piano as a focal point—a reference to a delicate settee, fine art, and an Oriental rug.

Catie describes the porch as the favorite place to visit in their house, with Atlanta weather so lovely that they can always keep the doors open.
