Born and raised in the Central Valley, I've always appreciated the visceral nature of food. Striving to provide my clients with memorable and unique culinary experiences. I started in kitchens at 15 years old washing dishes and working my way up. I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in 2008 and have spent the last 15 years since graduation learning and growing in kitchens throughout Los Angeles and San Diego. Now I look to bring my knowledge and passion for food and an amazing culinary experience to your home!

For me, cooking is...

A creative outlet that allows me to bring amazing experiences to people with food and a great culinary experience.

I learned to cook from my family as well as culinary school, but primarily from the many restaurants I have worked at over the years.

A cooking secret...

My love to create decadent and warm dishes.

My experience with Take a Chef and Chef Erik was seamless! Chef Erik is incredible! He cooked us an amazing 5 course meal at our home to celebrate my birthday. Every bite was so delicious and beautifully presented. Erik has an amazing talent for merging diverse flavors to create a unique and stunning dishes. It was a true fine dining experience and our guests were all so impressed. Erik left our kitchen spotless. We can’t wait to book him again!

Chef Erik amazed us! We had him do a fusion Japanese four course meal and everything from the portions to the flavors were delectable! Will have to book him again for another dinner!
