I craft refined, international menus that feel both original and deeply satisfying.

I’m a highly experienced professional chef with a diverse repertoire that includes French, Japanese, Chinese, Cajun, Kosher, and European cuisines. I love creating new dishes and producing meals that are both beautiful and of the finest quality, with a strong foundation in classic French training and extensive banquet and fine-dining experience.

I’m organized and comfortable cooking for large groups, and I place great importance on maintaining the highest standards. My work ethic is one of my greatest strengths, and I bring that same care to every plate and every guest experience.

For me, cooking is the cornerstone of a happy life—quality food and positive dining experiences make life enjoyable.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Chef's special, Fusion, Japanese, Seafood/Fish, French, Mediterranean and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is.
