Like many in my position, my passion for cooking was instilled at an early age by my mother and grandmother. In 2002, I decided to follow my passion and enrolled in Scottsdale Culinary Institutes Le Cordon Bleu program. It was clear from the first day that this was my correct path. I returned to Colorado after graduation to work at The Flagstaff House in Boulder. I continued my career at The Capital Grille in Denver where I worked through the stations and after a year, became a corporate trainer opening both the Baltimore and Scottsdale locations. While Opening Scottsdale, I fell in love with the area and transferred to Capital Grille Scottsdale. I spent close to fifteen years at Capital Grille, seven of those as the Executive Chef Partner.Excellent service is my standard. I believe that while excellent food is mandatory, the experience is what creates memories. I work with every client to create a menu and experience that won’t soon be forgotten.Over the past 20 years as a chef I’ve had the pleasure of cooking for CEO’s, NBA, NFL and MLB players as well as families enjoying vacations in beautiful Scottsdale. I pride myself on my ability to be able to create memorable meals no matter my environment.
