The Ozark Trail Association would not be where it is today without the dedication, knowledge, and heart of our incredible volunteers. Today, we want to celebrate one very special member of the OTA family — Jeff Goetter.![]()

Jeff has been with the OTA since the very beginning, becoming a founding member in 2002. Over the years, he has served the organization in countless capacities, generously sharing his time, skills, and deep knowledge of the Ozark Trail. His understanding of the OTA’s history and his unwavering commitment to our mission have made him an irreplaceable resource and a true cornerstone of our organization.![]()

But Jeff’s contributions go far beyond meetings and trail work. His love of cooking has become a beloved tradition at OTA events. For many years, Jeff has been the person behind the scenes making sure volunteers are well-fed after a hard day on the trail. From the traditional after-work dinners to his legendary stuffed peppers, Jeff’s cooking has become a highlight that volunteers look forward to year after year.![]()

Affectionately known as Chef Jeff, he will once again be keeping everyone fueled at many of our major events this fall — continuing a tradition that has brought countless smiles, full bellies, and great memories to the OTA community.![]()

We truly cannot imagine where the Ozark Trail Association would be today without Jeff’s dedication, friendship, and years of service. Thank you, Chef Jeff, for everything you have done — and continue to do — for the Ozark Trail! 🌿🥾![]()
