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.

Chips and all the snacks, treats, gourmet cookies, and beverages you could want will also be provided. We are more than happy to customize your lunch to accommodate your wishes.

DINNER

Evenings are a time to wind down your day, exchange adventure stories about the days activities with other guests from around the world, and discuss what you would like to do for your next days expedition while enjoying delicious appetizers.  Dinner is a gourmet meal prepared by our excellent Chef, served plated each evening and paired with a beer, wine or other beverage of your choice. Complete your meal with a decadent, made-from-scratch dessert.
