Get to know me better
Michelin trained, professional chef with an eye for details and perfection
I am a professional chef with 8 years of cooking experience in fine dining and Michelin starred restaurants. In 2017, I joined celebrity chef Thomas Keller to cook at his bistro in which opened the opportunity to work at the iconic French Laundry restaurant which is currently rated at 3 Michelin stars. Currently I work as a food designer for celebrity and Michelin chef Curtis Stone.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
All about locally sourced, fresh and organic ingredients that are in season and executed with pride and perfection.
I learned to cook at...
Bouchon Bistro(1 michelin star) as well as The French Laundry(3 michelin stars) under the direction of chef Thomas Keller.
A cooking secret...
I hand select all my ingredients to ensure they are in season and of the highest quality.
