As a dedicated father of three and a seasoned chef with over 35 years of culinary experience, I have made a significant impact on the food culture in the Southeast. At Baxter Storey, where I serve as the Head of Food, my innovative approach to cooking and unwavering commitment to excellence have been instrumental in shaping our culinary landscape.

My passion for gastronomy extends beyond the kitchen. I am an enthusiastic coach and mentor, always eager to share my knowledge and inspire the next generation of culinary talent. My love for food is evident in every aspect of my life, whether I’m experimenting with new recipes or guiding my team. My enthusiasm and expertise are the driving forces behind my success.

My journey as a chef, mentor, and trustee is fueled by a profound love for food and a desire to see others succeed. I am a true foodie at heart, dedicated to excellence and innovation in the culinary world.
