Get to know me better

Classically trained chef with fine dining experience, bringing Michelin level technique to personalized in home dining.

I’m a classically trained chef with a foundation in French cuisine, having honed my education at Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Boulder, Colorado. While French and Italian cuisine are my specialties, I’m comfortable preparing a wide range of global dishes. Whether you’re looking for an elegant multi-course tasting menu, a romantic date night dinner, or a relaxed family-style meal, I focus on creating memorable dining experiences using fresh, high-quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation.

I’ve had the privilege of cooking in New York City at some of the country’s most acclaimed restaurants, including Jean-Georges’ flagship restaurant, where I worked my way through multiple stations as a Chef de Partie for two years, I also spent time at Thomas Keller’s legendary Per Se. In New Jersey, I refined my skills at Scott Anderson’s Elements, as well as respected neighborhood restaurants including Mistral and Delicious Heights. While attending culinary school, I also worked at 24 Carrot Bistro, further expanding my experience across both fine dining and elevated casual cuisine.

My cooking combines fine-dining technique with warm, personalized hospitality, ensuring every meal is as enjoyable as it is memorable. Whether you’re seeking a luxury in-home dining experience, an intimate celebration, or catering for a larger gathering, my goal is to bring restaurant-quality cuisine directly to your table and create an experience your guests will remember long after the last course.
