I’ve been cooking professionally for over 20 years, and food has always been my true passion. I grew up in a small country town in Oregon, picking vegetables from our garden and catching salmon with my father—those early experiences shaped how I cook and why I value ingredient-driven dishes.

After spending the last 17 years living in Florida, Southern cuisine became a big part of my life. I’ve worked in Michelin-starred French fusion, classic French bistros, and American-style grills, and traveling and cooking alongside people from around the world has pushed me to keep my menus creative, thoughtful, and memorable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Canada?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 161 CAD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook French, Chef's special, Local, Fusion, Seafood/Fish and Mediterranean. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Canada?

To book me in Canada, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night, Corporate and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.
