“First we eat, then we do everything else”-MFK Fisher.

I am an eater first, a chef second. 

As an eater, I am the craving, hungry consumer. As a chef, I satisfy those cravings. 

My content development and consultant services are geared to the consumer, your customers, allowing you to satisfy their cravings and grow your business through creative food & beverage marketing. I use trends, culture, history, taste and experience to promote your product. Below you’ll find my life’s recipe and the ingredients that created a chef.
