Born and raised in Billerica, Jeff has deep roots in the Chelmsford area—he even played in a tough Thanksgiving football game at Chelmsford High! A graduate of Johnson & Wales with a culinary background, he’s spent most of his professional life working in and around the Burlington Mall area, gaining hands-on experience and a passion for hospitality that’s led him to his proudest role yet—General Manager of The Smoke Shop BBQ Chelmsford.

At the helm of the restaurant, Jeff oversees daily operations and leads his team into every shift with energy, positivity, and purpose—creating an experience that feels like a celebration every time a guest walks through the door.

Favorite thing about BBQ:
“BBQ is celebration food. You might not have it every day, but when you do—it’s meant to be shared with friends.”

Favorite thing about working at The Smoke Shop:
“I get to build a team around a foundation of amazing food, friendly smiles, and treating every guest like I would if they were walking into my own home.”

Where you can find him on a day off:
Hanging out with his niece and nephew (the Fun-Uncle title is official), catching a game, relaxing with a good video game, sharing a drink with friends, or laughing along to his favorite stand-up comedy.
