The Chef

The Story

I am a professional chef with over 27 years of experience across multiple facets of the food service industry. Growing up in a small town in Delaware, I discovered a fierce curiosity for kitchen life at 12, which led me to my first restaurant job at 13. On that first day, as a young teenager surrounded by knives, fire, and loud music, I was hooked. I knew immediately that this was the life for me. Though my career has taken me into considerably more refined settings since those early days, that enthusiasm has never changed. Kitchen life has taken me across three continents, allowed me to earn my stripes in some of the best kitchens in the world, and given me the skills to lead my own kitchens and cook for an incredible assortment of people. My career has included multiple successful restaurant openings, working in the #1 restaurant in the world, cooking for musical artists on North American tours, learning the inner workings of a national restaurant group, consulting for independent clients and restaurant groups, and helming the fine-dining restaurant atop the tallest building in Thailand. More recently, I have brought that experience into the private sector, working as a private and yacht chef for UHNW families. Those experiences have given me a broad and adaptable understanding of food and hospitality. I am no stranger to fine dining, but I have an equally special place in my heart for comfort food. One of the things I take the greatest pride in as a chef is my ability to adapt—to the people I am cooking for, the place I am cooking in, and the experience I am trying to create. I draw inspiration from my travels and from the kitchens I have led and worked in around the world. My approach to food is about balance: marrying the old with the new, the classic with the innovative, and refinement with a sense of fun. I want my food to be bold, beautiful, and engaging, but no matter how sophisticated or creative a dish becomes, my first priority is always the same: it has to be delicious.
