My Story

For me, cooking is a creative act; an art that tells a story of passion. A passion for bringing people together for a shared experience. It also tells the story of place - places I’ve visited and still yearn to taste. For me, food is also the story of human culture and the movement of knowledge throughout time. In every dish I create, I am conscious of this cycle.

Chefs are storytellers by way of the stomach. We are also nourishers of people. It is my hope that through my food, I am distilling these characteristics into unique and flavorful dishes. I am inspired every single day to make the highest quality, most delicious food possible.
