I’m a chef originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, where my passion for food started early—surrounded by a family of great cooks and a strong hospitality influence from my mom. In high school, I joined a ProStart culinary program, began competing, and started working in kitchens, where I met my first mentor.
From there, I trained in culinary school, staged at Alinea and Roister, and worked under incredible chefs like Joel Antunes at One Eleven and later at Manresa in California. Eventually, I joined the team at Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain, where I served as sous chef and refined my style—rooted in Southern tradition, seasonal cooking, and a love for local ingredients.
My journey has been shaped by mentorship, curiosity, and a deep respect for the craft—and I’m always hungry for what’s next.
