Private Chef in St Paul
Get to know me better
My culinary style is deeply personal, shaped by my roots and travels, and infused with passion in every dish I create.
I am a professional chef with expertise in both culinary and pastry arts. Born and raised in the Twin Cities, I’ve spent much of my 15-year career traveling, learning, and refining my craft.
I am a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, where I honed my technical skills and developed a deep respect for culinary artistry. Over the years, I’ve explored various cuisines, but I believe every chef must find their own voice in their food.
For me, that voice is rooted in modern Indigenous Minnesotan cuisine, which I showcased in my pop-up restaurant, Blackwater. I am not Southern, Mexican, or Asian—I cannot claim those cuisines as my own. Instead, my identity as a White Native Minnesotan with Scandinavian, German, and Indigenous heritage has shaped the way I cook. My food tells a story—one that is uniquely mine and deeply connected to Minnesota.

I learned to cook at...
My childhood home, alongside my late father. More recently, I credit my mentor, Chef Shane Oporto, for refining my skills and shaping my approach to f
A cooking secret...
A deep well of culinary knowledge, a passion for food in all its forms, and an ability to weave stories through flavor and technique.
