My experience spans everything from classic steakhouse dishes to Southern comfort food, Italian fine dining, and BBQ. I love creating menus that feel like an experience—where every dish builds on the last. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a big event, I focus on high-quality ingredients, rich flavors, and a polished presentation.

The most digestible medium for discussing difficult topics and situations. Pun intended.
I learned to cook at...
Restaurants, hotels, and catering companies from San Diego to Washington D.C.
A cooking secret...
There are no secrets.
