Get to know me better

Cooking is my love language—a way I connect, create, and nourish both myself and others.

Hello!

I started cooking in restaurants 15 years ago. Since then I’ve worked all kinds of jobs from being a butcher mostly focused on whole animal butchery to, baking and pastry work, to a high volume line-cook. Pasta/italian cuisine and bread baking I would say are two of my strengths.

The last 8 years I’ve focused primarily on more fine dining food working in restaurants such as Locust and Bastions (Nashville, TN) and Catherine & Mary’s and Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen (Memphis, TN). During that time I’ve also taken on quite a few private chef gigs doing everything from private party’s to catering weddings (cooked a whole lamb on a crucifix over a fire for a wedding once!)

I’m currently working as a full time baker at a Japanese bakery and am looking to pick up whatever private gigs I can in my off time! I think this could be a great opportunity!
