About Me

Me doing my first whole hog roast
Me doing my first whole hog roast

A lifelong foodie and chef, I’ve been involved in the restaurant and foodservice business since I can remember.  I have been around restaurants all my life.  When I was 8 my parents opened a fine dining restaurant in Vermont, and it was there that I was bitten by the bug.  Of course, like so many others, I tried to avoid the call, but after bouncing around in college I gave into the inevitable.  Since graduating from culinary school I have spent time cooking in New Orleans, Atlanta and Chicago.  After years of working in large cities and high end restaurants my wife and I moved to Wisconsin where we lead a slightly less hectic lifestyle. This new found freedom has given me a chance to spend more time with my wife and daughter and to indulge in some of my other passions such as photography and writing.
