Get to know me better

Hot coals, sharp knives, and flaked sea salt - I build platforms for simple, natural ingredients.

i’m a private chef based in arizona, working in scottsdale, sedona, flagstaff, tucson, bisbee, and everywhere in between. after spending a decade working in the restaurant industry, and primarily fine dining, my path led me to the exploration of fine dining food and wine as agricultural products which begin on the farm. i spent a number of years in northern michigan, working in vineyards orchards, and began an off - grid retreat chef business on the shores of lake michigan in 2019. since then, i’ve cooked thousands of meals for wellness and yoga retreats, professional athletes, intimate dinner parties, weddings and conventions, corporate retreats and every type of dietary preference and restriction. i believe that food is medicine, and my menus and ingredients reflect a deep knowledge and love of healing the body with delicious and nourishing foods, prepared and plated with the same finesse and attention to detail you can expect in a high end restaurant setting.

i am happy to work directly with your event planner, assistant, nutritionist or coach to develop menus and meal programs that work for you.

A cooking secret...

Compounding flavors and treating flavor pairings like wine tasting notes.
