I cook like with a flair for the unexpected. I’ve led kitchens, catered feasts, and built food experiences that make folks pause mid-bite and say damn. Whether I’m torching bone marrow, reinventing shrimp and grits, or pairing bourbon with brisket, I bring heat, heart, and a whole lotta soul to the plate. Private dinners, special events, or just a night worth remembering if food’s involved, I’m your guy 2052229356

For me, cooking is...

therapy, storytelling, rebellion, and love all on a plate

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook in the fire of professional kitchens and at the feet of Southern matriarchs both taught me flavor, respect, and finesse

A cooking secret...

My secret? I season with soul, cook with instinct, and plate like I’m telling a damn good story.
