Get to know me better

Culinary-trained private chef delivering elevated dining, charcuterie, wine pairings, and dog-friendly Barkuterie experiences.

I’m Chef Aaron, a culinary professional trained at the Arizona Culinary Institute with a passion for creating elevated, memorable dining experiences. My approach blends refined technique with a warm, approachable style—whether I’m preparing an intimate dinner, building a stunning charcuterie display, or curating a full-service event.

Through Rustic Charcuterie, I specialize in thoughtfully designed grazing experiences, wine pairings, and private chef services tailored to each client. I also bring a unique twist with Barkuterie, offering dog-friendly options so every guest—two-legged or four—feels included.

My background in operations and client service ensures every event runs smoothly from start to finish. From menu planning to final cleanup, I focus on delivering not just great food, but an experience people remember.
