Get to know me better
My mission is to bring you a flavour experience that lasts a lifetime while breaking bread and building memories with the ones you love.
My passion for the kitchen began as a young teenager working in a local Bar & Grill.
After earning my Red Seal, I started my career at some of downtown Toronto’s favourite restaurants where I became well versed in French cuisine and discovered a passion for Asian fusion.
Over the next 20 years, I refined my culinary skills as an integral part of the kitchens at some of Muskoka’s premier resorts before moving on to Executive Chef roles at prestigious clubs, golf courses and restaurants throughout Southern Ontario.
Most recently I have fallen in love with the art of grilling and creating gourmet family style recipes using authentic local favourites.
Whether a wedding, banquet or intimate gathering with friends and family, I'd love to create the perfect menu for your event!

More about me
For me, cooking is...
A way of life I could never live without.
I learned to cook at...
You never stop learning how to cook.
A cooking secret...
Patience. The most important ingredient.
