I’m a Michelin-trained Executive Chef, restaurant builder, and culinary strategist with 15+ years leading top-tier kitchens from Miami to Idaho. I blend creative excellence with operational mastery so your experience feels effortless—thoughtful menus, flawless execution, and service that stays one step ahead.

Outside the kitchen, I’m a father and fitness-driven entrepreneur, and I bring that same discipline and energy into every event—whether I’m crafting a refined private dinner, building a bold pizza night, or elevating brunch into something truly special.

My secret in the kitchen is listening—to the ingredients, the energy of the room, and the story my guest wants to taste.

What you can expect when you cook with me

Service-first cooking

For me, cooking is a personal act of service—so I curate intimate, unforgettable moments through every ingredient, every course, and every detail.

Michelin-level discipline

I learned to cook in the high-pressure crucible of New York’s Michelin-starred kitchens, where precision wasn’t optional—it was survival, and I still bring that standard to every plate I serve.

Presence and intuition

My secret in the kitchen is listening—to what the ingredients want to be, to the energy in the room, and to the story you want to taste—so the meal feels made for you, not just served to you.
