I craft intentional tasting menus rooted in Northern California’s bounty, blending French, Mexican, and Japanese techniques with precise execution and warm hospitality.

I tell seasonal stories through intentional tasting menus

I specialize in creating highly intentional tasting menus using Northern California’s abundance as my main anchor. I discover the best local ingredients, refine them with exacting technique, and let them tell a cohesive culinary story.

I am adept at all levels of fine dining, drawing from French, Mexican, and Japanese cuisines. I love clean, bold flavor profiles and I can also lead or assist with beverage pairings to elevate the experience. I look forward to hearing from you!

Let’s plan your menu

To me, cooking is life and everything in it. Every human advancement has been made possible by the advent of fire and therefore cooking.

What sets my cuisine apart

Cooking is my way of life

To me, cooking is life and everything in it. I honor fire as the origin of our craft and channel it into focused, intentional plates that let ingredients speak for themselves.

I grew through hospitality

Hospitality has been my first and only line of work. I learned everything from casual cafés to Michelin-starred restaurants, shaping my standards for precision, warmth, and consistency.

My philosophy: patience and discernment

My secret in the kitchen is patience and discernment. Often it isn’t about which ingredient or technique to use, but rather which not to use—so flavors stay clear, bold, and balanced.
