Get to know me better

I have an attention to detail that is rarely matched and I'm willing to go to great lengths to make food taste great.

Professional chef with over 20 years of experience, I’ve held Executive Chef roles at Tillie’s at Camp Lucy and Sway Aspen and I’m the owner/operator of the food truck Texsueño. I’ve also honed my craft in some of Austin’s most respected kitchens — including Barley Swine, Odd Duck, Lenoir and Foreign & Domestic — which gave me a broad foundation in technique, flavor development and high-volume service.

My work is rooted in Modern American cuisine, but I draw freely from global traditions to build thoughtful, seasonal menus. I focus on ingredient-driven cooking, prioritizing local producers and the best seasonal products to create food that’s both refined and approachable. I enjoy translating classic techniques into contemporary dishes with bold, balanced flavors.
