Get to know me better

Cooking has never been just a job to me. It’s my art form, where creativity, technique, and passion come together to create memorable experiences.

With over 20 years of professional culinary experience, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering the art of cooking. I began my journey apprenticing at a steakhouse at Big White Ski Resort before completing my culinary education at Okanagan College in Kelowna, where I earned my Red Seal certification in 2011.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading culinary teams in a diverse range of kitchens, from organic wineries to fine dining seafood and oyster bars. These experiences have allowed me to develop a versatile skill set and a deep appreciation for cuisines from around the world, along with extensive experience accommodating a wide variety of dietary preferences and restrictions.

For me, cooking has never been just a profession. It’s an art form and a lifelong passion. Every menu I create is thoughtfully crafted using quality ingredients, refined techniques, and a commitment to delivering memorable dining experiences that bring people together.
