Swedish born chef, entrepreneur, gardener, and family man blending Nordic traditions with Pacific Northwest ingredients.

I’m a chef with roots in Sweden and a passion for the ingredients and seasons of the Pacific Northwest. My cooking blends Nordic traditions with live-fire techniques, local sourcing, and a belief that great food doesn’t need to be complicated. Whether I’m cooking an intimate private dinner, a large gathering, or developing new menus, I focus on honest flavors, thoughtful execution, and creating memorable experiences around the table.

For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is a way to bring people together, create lasting memories, and show care through honest, flavorful food.

I learned to cook at...

I trained at Nyköping Restaurant & Hotel School in Sweden and never stopped learning since.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen is simple: respect the ingredient, cook with intention, and let fire, salt, and timing do most of the work.
