Jeff Martinez - Food and Beverage Director
Jeff began his career in Bowling Green Ohio where he worked for a family restaurant by the name of Kauffman’s.

After spending a few more years at their restaurant, he moved to Findlay Ohio where he became the Assistant Chef at the Findlay Country Club. Four years later, he moved to Kokomo Indiana to further his career. During his 20 years of service at the Kokomo Country Club, he executed every job possible to include cooking, bartending, dining room manager, assistant manager, and finally, to serve as club manager. The next stop in his career saw him as General Manager of the Lexington Golf & Country Club in Lexington, Virginia. Jeff had always had a driving desire to have his own business and arranged to join with his brothers to form an LLC. Together they created and built a small town family restaurant, the WEST-INN Diner in Weston, Ohio. In 2008, Jeff then answered the calling of the Country Club of Roswell, where he is currently the Food & Beverage Director.
