Professional Experience

I have been a chef for over twenty years. With my roots firmly planted in Oregon I acquired my first culinary certification at Lane Community College in Eugene. Craving more I applied for and was accepted to the highly acclaimed Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, New York. During my externship for CIA, I traveled to the rugged West Coast of Ireland to work at the renowned Balleymaloe House Bed & Breakfast with its world famous Balleymaloe Cookery School. Here specifically was where I was taught and learned of fresh ingredients picked straight out of the field, washed and cooked up for dinner. Where a daily chore working in Sweets was to go to the chicken coop and collect eggs. After completing my training overseas and in New York, I then worked in restaurants in Boston, San Diego & Los Angeles. I am currently a Private Chef in Beverly Hills.

On a Personal Note

I have been a Private Chef for more than 10 years, couple that with my large family background and swim instructor experience…

I guess you could say I have always been around kids. That is why when I had my first child, “Sweet Pea” it was just natural that I would make his first foods. It became, and still is, such a standard part of my day…

I have looked at what is on the market and see a need for a purer, tastier form of baby food. I don’t agree with selling baby food in small plastic tubs then instructing to heat in the microwave….knowing full well that with plastic, toxins leak out into the food. With the baby’s system being more fragile than an adults, I just do not understand this logic. That is why I continue to make and put into jars or glass containers my baby food. So it is soft enough to eat straight out of the jar, or if need be to heat in the microwave without the chance of toxins leaking out. (though I don’t own a microwave and am a big proponent of heating in a pot).

I also see a lot of flavor lacking in the foods on the market, or ingredients added in that do nothing for the child, and are put their for “flare”, and not with the child’s health, digestive development and taste in mind. That is why everything I make for my son, is yummy enough for me to eat too. All organic and healthy. Using only filtered water, organic grains, fresh greens and a little sea salt. As your child gets older incorporating ginger (for the stomach), cardamom (heating from the inside out) and other Asian herbs can benefit their health and digestive system. We owe it to ourselves, our kids, and our planet to eat responsibly and healthy!

Bon Appetite!
