Get to know me better

I am a highly experienced chef with 24 years experience all over the country. It is a thrill every time I get to share my passion.

I am a chef and restaurateur who has called Johnson City, TN home

since 2016. My culinary background was shaped in some exceptional

kitchens, including The Willows Inn on Lummi Island with Blaine

Wetzel; Luksus/Tørst in Brooklyn under Daniel Burns; Amass in

Copenhagen with Matt Orlando and Milton Abel; The Roosevelt and Dutch

& Co. in Richmond, VA; and Five & Ten and The National in Athens, GA,

where I served as sous chef for several years. I founded and recently

sold Timber! in Johnson City, to focus on private chef work

crafting unique hospitality experiences across the Southeast.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

Something I am extremely passionate about, and a way for me to share exciting new products with my treasured guests.

I learned to cook at...

The National and Five & Ten, in Athens, GA. I fell in love with cooking under the mentorship of Peter Dale, Hugh Acheson, and Patrick Stubbers.

A cooking secret...

Is understanding the reasons WHY we use certain techniques and the unique ways we can treat special products to make something extraordinary.
