Get to know me better

“If you are a chef, no matter how good a chef you are, it's not good cooking for yourself; the joy is in cooking for others.“

I have been a professional chef in the culinary industry for over 8 years.

Hailing from Chicago, Illinois all the way to Detroit, Michigan and it’s surrounding cities. I began my culinary career humbly, in a bar, making quick eats and catering my own meals in my spare time.

Knowing that I had a growing passion for the culinary world and enjoying the aspect of making a crowd happy and well fed I wanted to challenge myself to learn more complex cuisines.

I was afforded the opportunity to learn in a scratch kitchen with a vast menu where the restaurant itself was considered American, upscale casual, but payed homage to other cultures as well.

From that point I would obtain multiple jobs as a line cook at once. I was a vessel in a sense for multiple chefs and cooked around the clock while I watched and learned everyday.

I am well versed in American, Italian, French, and Japanese cuisine. A Pastaiolo, Pizzaiolo, Rotisseur, Grill Master, and Saucier.

I strive to master more in this culinary world as I deliver amazing food, experiences, and services like none other.
