Jeff first discovered Arch Cape in 2005 and immediately fell in love with the community, the surrounding forest, the ocean, and the abundance of outdoor activities the area provides. In 2017, he purchased a home in Arch Cape and, a year later, made the permanent move after finding employment at the Stephanie Inn.

Jeff also served on the Arch Cape Water District Budget Committee in 2024, which gave him valuable insight into district operations and financial stewardship.

When he’s not cooking professionally, Jeff enjoys hiking, biking in the mountains behind Arch Cape and along the beach, and spending time with his fiancée and their two energetic dogs. He is excited to continue serving the community as a member of the Arch Cape Water District Board.
