BIOGRAPHY

Cooking and being a chef has always been about bringing people together. Whether it is the guests in the dining room or the cooks in the kitchen working as a team to deliver the best of the best.

 

As a chef, teaching is an essential part of everyday life to ensure that a recipe and menu can reach its fullest potential.

My favorite thing about teaching at Truffle Shuffle is watching family and friends spend their time together no matter where they are in the country and bonding over a meal.
