Meet The Chef
I started out in the food and beverage industry at the young age of 14, as a dishwasher and prep cook out on Canada’s west coast. I soon realize that I wanted to build a career in the industry. I returned to my home town of Toronto to complete my education at George Brown Culinary Institute.
Upon completion of schooling I worked for the Oliver Bonacini group in Toronto, spending 4 years within their restaurants. Recruited by Coast Hotels and Resorts, I headed back out west ending up in Nanaimo for a period of 6 years, where we lead a great culinary team in a five star restaurant. In 2009 I then traveled to Victoria, BC where I lead a culinary team at Pescatores, arguably the city’s most prestigious seafood restaurant.
​
In 2020, after 27 years in restaurants, hotels and resorts, I launched Chefs Course, Vancouver Islands in house private Chef experience. I continuously draw inspiration from all around. October 2022 lead me back to Paris, France where I spent some time at Le Cordon Bleu, a prestigious culinary school, fine tunning some learnt skills. From independent restaurants to large resorts and new restaurant launches, I bring over 25 years of culinary experience.
​
Other then the obvious passion for cooking and creating, I try to instill a love of family, tradition and the outdoors into food preparations.
