Get to know me better

I am highly motivated and creative and strive daily to improve in everything I do.

Food has always been my biggest passion; even as a young child, my interest started with combining new ingredients, tasting incredible spice blends, and creating innovative combinations. My expertise lies in developing, locally sourcing the best ingredients, and implementing successful menus to captivate guests and ensure maximum satisfaction. Through my established ability to prepare successful menus for various cuisines, I promise you the most elevated experience possible.

I am highly experienced in numerous cuisines and classically trained in French cuisine from Johnson and Wales University. I have a massive passion for innovating traditional recipes to make them unique and high quality, with over 20 years of experience in the culinary industry. I have extensive knowledge of many dietary needs and allergy requirements. As a professional chef with years of experience, I have developed an exceptional and well-rounded palate. I easily recognize the slight differences that a pinch of salt can provide for a dish, and my sense of smell and taste has always been naturally very sensitive and elevated.

Being a great chef involves more than being able to cook, as being a great leader involves more than being able to delegate tasks. I successfully supervise all culinary aspects of each meal, ensuring the flavor profiles are unique and provide a magical experience. I believe a meal's success begins with the freshest ingredients, which is why I work with local farmers for premium fruits, vegetables, and meats. I have developed many unique recipes that incorporate my cooking style with traditional values and locally sourced products. The form of service I provide centers around an in-depth concierge-focused experience where I develop custom menus with multiple options for each course.

I am a veteran who served with the United States Navy for eight years. During that experience, I became very detail-oriented. This detailed orientation allows me to plan and preemptively foresee what problems might occur. This knowledge is integral to my ability to provide you and your guests with a fine dining experience in the comfort of your home with no clean-up or stress.
