Get to know me better
Focused on creating an atmosphere that is welcoming and inviting, food that will leave someone wanting more, and service that makes everyone feel seen
I started washing dishes when I was 16, 31 years later I have learned so many skills in the kitchen and as a manager. I have always been interested in every aspect of a kitchen and management, which has helped me have a career filled with many different experiences. These experiences include working the line for a James Beard award winning chef, pastry chef at an Inn in Asheville, opening a farm to fork delicatessen, Instituting a compost program that help divert 2.3 tons of trash in 3 months, Executive chef for a corporation serving 500 guests a day, and events for up to 2000 guests
More about me
For me, cooking is...
Using heat to Kraft a product with a balance of flavors, textures, temperatures and aromas, that is beautiful in appearance and touches all senses.
I learned to cook at...
New England Culinary Institute rooted in classic French Technique and focused on local products, resources, farmers, chefs, and the community.
A cooking secret...
Using all my senses, eyes for awareness, hands to feel, ears to hear food cooking, nose to smell when something is done, mouth, to taste.
