Check out the reviews for my team and I.

I am a passionate professional chef with more than 20 years of progressive culinary training, I graduated from culinary school in 2005 and have held just about every position in the kitchen on my way to becoming an Executive Chef. I own my own private chef company, I've helped open restaurants. I have worked for the world's largest and second largest food service companies and 5 star hotels. I have had the privilege of having cooked at events and establishments in which celebrities were in attendance including, former first lady Michelle Obama. Sports stars such as Troy Aikman, Charles Barkley, the 2001 World Series Champion Arizona Diamondbacks, the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants amongst others.

For me, cooking is...

A way to bring people together and open a whole new world, not just in tastes but in cultures and experiences.

I learned to cook at...

As a child in my parent's restaurant, while sharpening my craft in culinary school and everyday I've worked in a kitchen for the past 20+ years.

A cooking secret...

Treating food with respect and learning what it does, you don't force things in the kitchen, you manipulate them.
