My cooking career and passion for food sprouted at a very young age. I often remember my father planning meals days ahead of time and working hard to get to the weekend where he could then execute his plans. It took a while to understand, but what my father was creating were food memories, and we all have them! That idea of creating food memories for you is a driving force in my life and a true obsession.
We've been enthusiastically serving the Northwoods and beyond since 2019, with no plans of stopping. I'm incredibly grateful for the life I've built here in Eagle River with my wife, Martha, and our two dogs. Whenever I can, I make sure to give back to this wonderful community that supports us, whether by mentoring aspiring young chefs or contributing in other meaningful ways.
When I'm not in the kitchen, you'll often find me exploring the vast Nicolet National Forest or tracking deer with my two hounds. I'm passionate about a wide array of foods, and while it's impossible to be an expert in everything, I focus on what I do best. To ensure the success of your special occasion, I offer my signature menu featuring dishes and dinner styles that I'm truly passionate about and that have consistently delighted clients. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more passionate and easy-to-work-with chef in the Northwoods. Also don't worry, my cooking skills are far more impressive than my reality TV appearance!
