About Your Teacher

Jeffrey got his start working for the acclaimed Chef Thomas Keller, leading teams in Las Vegas, Napa, and Beverly Hills. His adventures have allowed him to bake everywhere from Tokyo to Paris, including an opportunity to be featured on Food Network’s Best Baker in America. One of Jeffrey's highest honors was competing with Team USA in the 2016 Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie – the World Cup of Baking.

Recently, he's been very busy (along with his partner Annarose Davis) overseeing pastry operations for Thorne Family Farm in Malibu, CA and getting his own bakery – Varsity Bakery – up and running in Culver City, CA.
