Jay Goldberg

Jay Goldberg (Known as Ukulele Jay BBQ) grew up in Los Angeles moving to Colorado at age 11 where he grew up skiing, hunting, fly fishing and hiking in the Rocky Mountains. He eventually moved back to Northern California’s Castro Valley, Jay’s passion for food continued where he planned to attend the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco but ended up going to college where he earned his bachelors degree in criminal justice management and graduated law school with his Juris Doctorate. In college, he cooked bbq for his friends on a rusted out Weber kettle which gave him the bbq bug.

Jay went on to serving more than bbq as a volunteer fire dispatcher, volunteer firefighter, and finally working patrol as a reserve police officer in Northern California before going into law enforcement as his first career. Jay has always helped people and has found cooking to be a great way to reduce stress and having fun. Jay eventually retired from his distinguished full time public safety career for a calmer lifestyle.

Jay has led companies in the technology sector for the past 25 years where he is currently the chief operating officer for a major technology consulting firm in San Francisco, CA.

Jay continues his love and passion for cooking and bbq 5-6 days a week as a social media content creator while ocassionally playing his ukulele (thus the name). Jay is also a personal chef doing philanthropy cooking for non-profit fundraisers and uses all methods of cooking and combining Sous Vide and BBQ (now called Sousvideque) .
