About Me


After nearly two decades in restaurants, much of it leading teams through both the exciting and the essential drudgery, I stepped away from restaurant life to be a stay-at-home parent.

Thanks to an amazing partner, I now have more time to help others build confidence and muscle memory so they can play more confidently with their food.

I think the world’s a better place with the aroma of few more good meals.
