About Jeff

Chief BBQ Officer, aka “The Smoker Guy”

After spending almost three decades in the corporate world, holding a variety of senior leadership roles and traveling extensively throughout the country, Jeff has turned his attention to being a devoted father to his two daughters. He founded and created Smokin’ Deal BBQ in 2013, and his extreme passion as a barbeque enthusiast and aficionado really shines. Jeff started smoking meats in the early 90’s and since that time, he’s never looked back! He continues his pursuit of excellence by offering up BBQ consulting & expertise for new and seasoned cooks alike.

Smokin’ Deal BBQ traces back to an early moment in Jeff’s BBQ journey — cooking for a private club event centered around smoked food, good company, and a night of fun with blackjack and poker.  It was one of those experiences where everything just clicked — the food, the atmosphere, the energy of the room.  Plates were full, cards were dealt, and the night carried on exactly the way it should.  That event became the foundation for the name.  Smokin’ — rooted in the craft of live-fire cooking.  Deal — a nod to the table, the cards, and the experience of bringing people together.  What started as a single event grew into something much bigger — but that same idea still drives everything we do today: create an experience people want to be part of.

He’s a certified Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) judge and has competed in dozens of local, National, International and World Championship BBQ competitions as a Pitmaster. Most recently, he cooked with the Boars Night Out team at Memphis in May (aka The Superbowl of BBQ), and they placed 2nd in the World in the Whole Hog Category. In addition, he was a co-pitmaster with nutthin’ BUTT pork at The American Royal (aka The World Series of BBQ). The team placed 10th in Chicken and tied for 16th in ribs, from a field of over 400 US and 10 International entries!

When you want to talk about cooking and smokers, Jeff’s other moniker, “The Smoker Guy” takes on a whole new dimension.
