He/Him

A man with a beard wearing a white chef’s coat stands in front of a beige textured wall, ready to showcase his Personal Chef Services.

I’m a proud Seattle native with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up catching Dungeness crab in the San Juans, boating on Lake Washington, skiing at Crystal Mountain, and enjoying everything from teriyaki takeout to a classic Seattle dog outside a Mariners game. Some of my favorite memories have always been built around sharing great food with friends and family(opens in new tab), and that connection continues to shape the way I cook today.

I’m a self-taught chef, and what began as years of cooking and experimenting for the people in my life has grown into professional personal-cheffing. Cooking regularly for clients has sharpened my technique, expanded my palate, and allowed me to build lasting relationships with the individuals and families I cook for. I’m proud that many of those relationships have become long-term ones built on trust, consistency, and a shared appreciation for great food.

I believe great personal chef service starts with understanding the people I’m cooking for. I take the time to learn each client’s tastes, dietary needs, routines, and preferences, and I continually adapt based on their feedback and as their needs evolve.

Whether I’m preparing everyday meals for a busy household(opens in new tab) or cooking for a private gathering, my goal is the same: thoughtful, high-quality food that feels personal, approachable, and genuinely enjoyable; and a service my clients can consistently rely on to fit their lives.
