I come from a long line of cooks in the kitchen. Growing up in a family of 9 there was always food on the table and someone over a hot stove or oven. I was not allowed to cook as a kid, I think that’s why I love it so much now. I find its calming. As far back my first chicken dinner made for my family, I knew that food and the kitchen would be apart of my story.

I worked in corporate America for 15 years and job after job I just didn’t find my calling. I knew I was good at a lot of things but the love and passion just wasn’t there. I took several “vacations” where I cooked for friends, family, and clients and I would close my eyes every night in complete joy.

After the military, a few degrees and 2 corporate layoffs, moving to Colorado, and having 2 kids. We are here.

Every day is a new experience, from feed a fraternity house of 50 to intimate dinner parties, I continue to adventure through the world of food and the art and science of cooking. Join me on my journey.
