Influencer Profile: Jeff Ramos
Originally from the New Orleans area, Internet Marketing Associate Jeff Ramos lived in Atlanta for 7 years before taking a job at a high school in San Francisco coaching the Varsity Boys Soccer Team. He stayed in San Francisco for about a year before moving to Lake Tahoe and working for Heavenly Ski Resort. After dealing with 600 feet of snow, he decided that it wasn’t the place for him and moved back to his hometown — not to mention warmer weather. He’s loving every second of being in the city again and eating the great food New Orleans has to offer. His favorite foods here are shrimp po’boys (which he usually has about 4 a week) and crawfish.
