ABOUT
THE BUTCHERED CHEF
I love food. Not only is it in my DNA but cooking brings me comfort as well. Most my childhood days were spent in the kitchen and it quickly became a place I could create and get lost in time. My first attempt outside of “kid food” happened when I was 8 years old and got my hands on a chocolate soufflé recipe from an old Betty Crocker Cookbook. Surprisingly, it turned out edible
even though it didn’t rise! This was an impactful time in my life where I made a creative connection with food, from that moment on a little chef inside was born.
I believe that food has many amazing qualities…
-
As simple as you want or as complex as you desire
-
It can bring comfort or show love
-
One bite can take you on a cultural trip around the globe
-
Ultimately, it is the powerhouse we use to fuel our bodies
I started in this industry at age 12, rollerblading my way to work as a dishwasher in a bar. Not sure how legal that was but I enjoyed every minute of it! I have my Certifications in Culinary and Butchery. I have had the privilege of traveling the globe, working most positions in the kitchen, and most recently being part of a startup spice company growing into a multimillion-dollar business in just a few years.
I have loved everything about it but as my life changes and evolves so is my culinary calling. On this new journey I became a Certified Health & Wellness Coach. As a husband and father to 4 growing boys I want nothing more than for my family to know how to care well for themselves.
​
This was my next big aha moment!
The complete package. Practical and purposeful. Coaching coupled with Culinary. A place where wellness fuses together with a butcher’s trade, through a chef’s eye.
And hence… The Butchered Chef was born
