Jeffery A. Miller Catering
Our Administrative Team
An onion. The more layers you peel, the harder you’ll cry.
I act as the company butcher (see his video on how to break down a pig!), resident truck driver, head of construction, company manager, and as a party head chef (Jan makes a mean summer salad).
I cook for myself, but I like it when my mother cooks for me. My favorite dish is rind roulade. It translates to German beef roll.
I am originally from South Africa; I played rugby and chess. My favorite cake at Jeffrey Miller catering is carrot cake, by far. My favorite saying when someone asks “How is it going today?" is—"Peachy." I also help out as a bartender at several events a year.
If I have a rough day I always do the following: I look in the mirror, close one eye and smile – always does the trick.
Most important of all – I hate Paper.
Amer has previously worked as a security manager, an interpreter, a translator, a liaison officer with the U.S Army, and a translators department manager. He's hardworking, motivated, and a great addition to the JAM team!

I cook for myself, if heating up a Stouffer's counts as cooking.
If you were a food what would you be?
Donna's kids answered for her! "You would be either gnocchi because it grounds you in family and comfort or pasta Bolognese as it is a complex sauce open to the interpretation of the preparer or chef and it takes only a handful of ingredients to meld artistry, flavor and comfort into a meal so many can enjoy. You are not tofu."
A beautiful, ripe, red tomato. Because it has so much flavor and goes great over pasta or in a salad when it’s ripe.
I love events where the couple ask for things that are not really common and we are able to accommodate them. There was one event where the bride was Italian and she really wanted a specific Italian dessert that comes from a region of southern Italy where her family was originally from. She just happened to tell me the name of the region and it was two towns over from where my sister lives in Italy. So my sister called this restaurant in Martina Franca where they make this dessert and they gave her the recipe and she sent it to me. The bride was so happy that she was able to have this dessert on her wedding day!
Dessa is the one responsible for most of the text you see here on our site! When she's not interviewing chefs and finding new and exciting ways to write about delicious food, she can be found helping out with other JAM projects such as building farm tables and foraging for edible plants.
Favorite Quote: “If you ain’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes”
When I’m not working for JAM, I enjoy hanging out with friends or playing drums with my band. If I were food, I would be pizza because who doesn’t like pizza!
My favorite part of a wedding is the post dessert dancing. Bonus points if someone starts break dancing or does the worm!
