Chef Bio
I’ve been hosting or teaching in some form or fashion my whole life. I consult and support people, companies and organizations to find better intention, diversity and inclusion in their events and overall life. From creating one of my bespoke grazing tables, charcuterie, catering, cooking and cocktail classes, gift and swag bags, or curating dialogue that keeps your event or function lively, you will see most of it with an intentional focus on social activism. Taking a second to be kind or a moment to be intentional about how we support, we can make change.

Santa Monica Farmers Market
What I love about cooking and hospitality…
