Outside of the culinary world, Jeff is also an early adopter of Brazilian Jui Jitsu, and continues to train and support local studios.  He compliments the ju jitsu with a regular yoga practice, giving a much needed “yin” to a “yang” lifestyle.  Jeff is also involved in a local mentorship program, “Colorado Youth At Risk”  which has changed his life in ways he never imagined.
