Originally born and raised in Connecticut, Chef Jeff Terentieff hails from a family deeply rooted in the food and beverage industry. After a decorated service in the U.S. Army, he attended The Culinary Institute of America. Relocating to Boca Raton in 1999, Jeff continued to carve his path in upscale restaurants.

In 2006, he made the leap into the world of country clubs starting at Boca West Country Club, and quickly working his way up to the role of Executive Sous Chef. After 10 years he was offered his first Executive chef position at Gleneagles Golf & Country Club in Delray Beach and then at Aberdeen Golf & Country Club in Boynton Beach.

Most recently, Jeff returned to Boca West, overseeing a substantial $13 million annual F&B operation, and playing a pivotal role in the $70 million clubhouse renovation. Jeff currently resides in East Boca with his 3 young children. He loves to cook at home as well as engulf himself in all things related. Jeff is an avid golfer, active church member, gym fanatic, and lover of all things outdoors.

Rowan Newman joined Boca Woods in 2021. He has almost 20 years of experience working in Palm Beach County Country Clubs. He started his career at Boca West Country Club as an international employee from Capetown, South Africa. This is where he worked his way into a management training program that allowed him to stay on staff year-round. He remained at Boca West for nearly ten years, where he gained the knowledge to work every outlet of the seven fullservice restaurants on site, his favorite being the fine dining steak house.

When given the opportunity to further his career, Rowan moved to Hunters Run Country Club in Boynton Beach in 2013. This is where he began broadening his knowledge of food, menu writing, and teamwork as a Sous Chef. He remained at Hunters Run until now, and he is excited to be a part of such a talented management team that is so passionate about their crafts. He looks forward to adding his expertise to the group. Rowan is a Boca Raton resident where he lives with his wife and children.
