Get to know me better
Southern comfort food chef elevating classics with fresh, local ingredients & global flavors.
I am a professional chef with 12 years in the industry. My first job at a BBQ restaurant ignited a passion for cooking that's driven me ever since. For me, every dish is an act of love – a chance to nourish both body and soul. With a career spanning several esteemed kitchens, I've honed my craft as a Butcher, Chef, and Kitchen Manager at All American Steakhouse, Pitmaster at Centennial Bar and Grill and Sporty's Beef and Brew, and Executive Chef at The Irishmen and Mammoth Burger Co. I pour my heart into every recipe, combining traditional Southern comfort food with innovative flavors and techniques. My goal is to share that love and warmth with every person I feed.
