The Art of Wine-Focused Private Dining

Today, I specialize in crafting intimate, bespoke dining experiences throughout Southern California that reflect this deep connection to the land. My approach is rooted in showcasing the exceptional seasonal ingredients California has to offer, pairing them with the state's diverse terroir. Currently pursuing my sommelier certification, I create more than just meals; I curate wine-focused journeys designed to highlight the stunning synergy between exceptional regional ingredients and a thoughtfully selected glass of wine.

This is not just private dining: it's an invitation to experience California's culinary and viticultural heart, delivered personally to your table.

Crafting Intimate Culinary Experiences

My culinary journey is a love letter to California. Though I honed my professional skills at Johnson & Wales University, my passion was first ignited as a child, moving from South Carolina to the vibrant Monterey Peninsula. It was here that I discovered the literal bounty of the Golden State: the abundance of seafood; the incredible array of fresh, seasonal produce; and the diversity of its cuisine. This formative experience, combined with over thirty years of professional culinary experience including seven rewarding years as both Chef de Cuisine and Executive Chef at Erickson's Greenspring Village, led me back to California, where I dedicate myself to sharing that regional inspiration with you.
