When the job was posted, Cheek had already returned to Greensboro two years earlier with his wife, Tamara Jenkins, an Olympian in kayak doubles at the 2000 Sydney games; [his infant son]; and the family dog. The NBC Olympics analyst had been living in Denver and working for a venture capital company at the start of the pandemic lockdown in 2020. By that July, they had decided to go on a month-long road trip to visit family.
