Jeff joined the Biaggi’s team over 14 years ago. He has been the MP of the Colorado Springs unit for the last nine years. I think this year has been the most challenging year for Jeff, as he has not had the stability of having a Chef Partner in place. However, as the great leaders do, Jeff has persevered by taking a much more active role in his kitchen. He also made the commitment to develop his long-term sous, Brian Ulatowski, who is very deserving of the opportunity to run this kitchen. Jeff has done a tremendous job in the third quarter. Under his leadership, Colorado Springs has made their sales and PBA. Currently, Jeff and his team are working on making this the seventh straight year of SSS. Jeff is a very humble person who gives respect to everyone he works with. He does hold people accountable, but he makes his expectations very clear, and his staff knows he is fair, even-keeled and most importantly, that he will support them. Jeff is a pleasure to work with and a very highly valued partner!

In Quarter 3, Sean Swank found that the lead responsibilities in Evansville had fallen directly on his shoulders as we looked to find and train our new Managing Partner. While there was a ton of things he had not been directly involved with in the past, he did not hesitate to step up and figure out how to work through them. On top of having to deal with BOTH Kevin and I, taking on a bunch of new responsibilities and fronting the communication with the corporate office, he had the difficult task of having to support staff and guests alike as they navigated through a ton of emotions in the building. Despite all the extra hours and more stress than he would have ever expected, he pushed through multiple periods without allowing the little things to fall through the cracks.
