Proud chef with a background in southern cuisine I spent most of my time working in made from scratch kitchens. I’ve worked along side several James Beard Award recipients and even with the chef Paul Proudhon. I grew up chef with cooking experience from cuisines all around the world. I have an eye and pallet for excellent food and a passion for turning ordinary dishes into extraordinary experiences.
