Passionate about the art of food and scratch cooking, I embody the essence of locally driven cuisine. Raised in the South and working on my family farm, farm-to-table has a deep meaning for me. My love for southern contemporary cuisine stems from my childhood, and I take pride in leading scratch kitchens. With experience in fine dining, high volume establishments, craft services, and catering for discerning palates, I have honed my talent and expertise through extensive travels. As an artist, teacher, and business person, I strive to enhance guests' experiences by developing outstanding menus, fostering great teams, and instilling pride in everyone involved. Leadership, to me, means taking action and making a difference.
