In recent years, Jeff applied his skillset and network to creating culinary events.  He is the creator of Top Taco and Chicken Fight, two competitive food festivals that have become yearly staples and fantastic experiences.  He has made a career out of connecting people through food and drink,  I kinda wish I had his job.

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.
