  • Head Chef

    Chef grew up on the East coast cooking with his mother and grandmother. He moved to Alaska in the late nineties where he began cooking at Sacks Cafe now Crush. 

    Sacks was a culinary playground of talented chefs, great ingredients and a wonderful learning environment. The opportunity to open his own restaurant presented itself and he opened South Restaurant. After the success of South Chef opened Sounders Roadhouse and Coffeehouse where he continued to learn and expand knowledge of the use of local ingredients and worked with various chefs who shaped the cook he is today.

    For the last several years he has enjoyed working at some extraordinary remote lodges and private yachts where he has continued the pursuit of food and the love of the outdoors.

    In his spare time he enjoys everything outside from skiing, scuba diving, fishing to foraging.
