Hi, I'm a yacht chef who’s lucky enough to combine my love for fresh, seasonal cooking with my passion for travel and adventure. I've spent years creating memorable dining experiences on yachts and private estates across North America and Europe, always aiming to bring joy to the table with each dish I prepare.

Whether I’m crafting a simple, elegant breakfast for two or planning a multi-course feast for fifty, I pour my heart into every meal, focusing on locally-sourced ingredients and beautiful presentation. My journey has also taken me into kitchen design and culinary consulting—anything that elevates the dining experience for my guests. I’m a Johnson & Wales-trained chef who believes that food should be as exciting and enjoyable as the journey itself!
