His expertise spans high-end dining, pub cuisine, and large-scale catering.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, Jeff launched Fifth Dimension Snack Bar, a food truck specializing in scratch-made, elevated street eats. Though successful, the pandemic forced its closure, leading him to seek a fresh start in Alexandria, Ontario.
