Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, used my mother's cooking and being born again in 2009-2010 to rescue me from a life of misery, hopelessness, and self- exaltation to a life of servitude, joy, and faithfulness.

Without this salvation experience I would have never found the desire to pursue a career of excellence in the culinary arts or the desire to really live at all. Christ saved me I live for Him.

Shortly after that I went to Johnson and Wales from 2010 to 2014; Then I went to Alinea in Chicago (where I met my wife); moved to Napa to pursue a job with the French Laundry whom I was with for 3 years; spent 1 year at Atelier Crenn; Helped open and was the Chef de Cuisine at Taksim Restaurant in San Francisco.

Now my family and I are in Tennessee trying to make His-story happen one day and one memorable experience at a time. All with the loves of my life riding on my back.

For me, cooking is...

A way to serve God and people. I cook to nurture people. People matter most. My equation of cooking is simple: Ingredients + Execution=Your Meal.

I learned to cook at...

Home(Papa and Mom). Johnson and Wales University in Denver. Professionally in multiple highly acclaimed Michelin restaurants.

A cooking secret...

If I told it wouldn't be a secret ;)

Daniel Gribble is an extremely talented chef and a kind, warm person. It was such a treat to have him cook a meal for our family over vacation. We were celebrating birthdays and he brought a cake with their names on it and was intentional about celebrating them. The entire evening was very special and memorable. Each course had flavors that were delicious and unique, but loved by everyone! He is gifted and we are so thankful we could have him!
