Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—from resorts and country clubs to large dining programs and executive chef roles. I’ve always enjoyed the fast pace of the kitchen, the creativity of menu development, and the chance to make someone’s day with a thoughtful meal. Leading teams, managing operations, and building a positive dining environment are all parts of the work I truly value. Outside of work, I enjoy geocaching—a hobby I share with my sister, Regina—and exploring new places whenever possible. My dog, Roo, is my constant companion and a big part of my life. I believe in balancing structure with adventure, and that philosophy guides both my professional and personal pursuits.
