Get to know me better

Have knives, will travel.

I don't just cook dinner — I run the room. For years I've traveled as a private chef under my brand Palette Perfect, plating multi-course dinners for celebrity clients, intimate celebrations, Rocky Mountain weddings, and full banquet events. Before that I led a 23-person kitchen at a 10,000-seat venue, so nothing about your night is too big or too detailed for me to handle.

My cooking moves across American regional, Asian, and Mediterranean traditions, sharpened by a dietetics background that means every plate is as intentional as it is indulgent — A5 wagyu and cold-water lobster when you want to impress, clean and nutrition-forward when you want to feel as good as the food tastes. ACF Silver Medalist. Military veteran. Obsessive about the details.

"I cook to guide the experience, not just feed the room."

More about me

For me, cooking is...

Control, not chaos. I guide the whole experience — every plate clean, intentional, and impossible to forget.

I learned to cook at...

The highest-pressure rooms there are — a 10,000-seat arena leading a team of 23, then private kitchens for celebrity clients.

A cooking secret...

Treating food like it matters after the last bite. I cook for flavor and how you feel — clean, nutrition-driven, dialed in.
