My path into the world of gastronomy began with a childhood love for food and a passion for sports, particularly hockey. While I dreamed of becoming a professional hockey player, my love for food eventually led me to pursue a career in the art of cooking. After graduating from a culinary arts school in Maryland, I embarked on an adventure that has spanned over 20 years.
Throughout my career, I’ve held various titles, including Executive Sous Chef and Head Chef, and I’ve had the privilege of specializing in a variety of cuisines such as Italian, French, BBQ, Tapas, and more.

local sourcingI take pride in supporting local farmers and businesses, sourcing the freshest ingredients from farmer’s markets, local co-ops, and butcher shops. By prioritizing local sourcing, not only do I ensure the freshest ingredients for my dishes, but I also aim to contribute to the sustainability and vitality of greater Boise, Idaho, and surrounding areas.
