A driven & passionate culinary professional. Who was transitioned into the private market.

I am a professional chef with over 15 years of experience. I was trained at the Californian Culinary Academy in San Francisco. I worked under chef Mathew Bosquet as an extern, was hired on and worked & learned under him for the next seven years as his sous chef. I have now held executive chef positions in the Napa valley, Seattle & Montana and am beginning to look at other niches of the industry. I now have experience promoting & executing winemaker dinners, running bed & breakfast kitchens, farm to table operations, & in home private catering. I work with a small network of like minded hospitality industry veterans to provide excellent food and beverage experiences through the west coast region.
