He attended university studying business and met his future wife Victoria. Neil gained his pilot's license and uses a plane to reach the remote mining location where he and Victoria mine together with Guy and Lise Favron.((The Northern Gold Club, 2025 website: About Us - The-Northern-Gold-Club))

Neil is a Yukon placer miner in the Sixtymile mining district. In 2025, he and another miner approached the Robert Service K-12 school in Dawson to donate money to support the school’s nutrition program. Unique to the Yukon, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in (TH) and Yukon government co-govern the Dawson school. The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in education director, Jody Beaumont, told them that the program was not running in 2025/26 as Indigenous Services Canada introduced new rules for the Jordan’s Principle funding program.((Talar Stockton, “Klondike placer miners donate $500,000 for school food program.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 20 October 2025.))

Loveless, president of the Klondike Placer Miners’ Association (KPMA), contacted some area other miners who had indicated some desire to give back to the community after a good mining season with higher gold prices. Together they donated $500,00 to support TH in providing the nutrition program. Many of the miners have children attending the school. KPMA is playing a part in organizing the donations.((Talar Stockton, “Klondike placer miners donate $500,000 for school food program.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 20 October 2025.))
