About
A little bit about me. I grew up on a dairy farm in northern Wisconsin. I have six brothers and sisters, many of who still live in my hometown. In high school I was the only kid who liked Prince. I had pictures of New York City on my bedroom wall.
When I was old enough, I went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. After I graduated, I went on to a series of jobs all around the country. I started as as a private chef for the Forbes family on their ranch in Colorado. I then went on to work around the country including: Coyote Café with Mark Miller, L’Espalier in Boston, Flying Fish in Seattle, Lulu and Jardinière in San Francisco, and Graham’s in New Orleans.
