Decades of experience and lessons learned…
Connecting through food, educational experiences, and listening, I have learned how to connect with customers from a wide variety of industries. My wish is to inspire a spark of interest while helping you discover your your brand perspective. Ultimately, gaining clarity on next steps and the desire to create something incredible together. Using my deep food ingredient knowledge, savvy professional and residential appliance knowledge and forward hospitality relationships, we can create anything from events, sales education seminars to effective far - reaching campaigns .
As a professional chef and with decades of experience with end users, I can guide you to understand your customers’ cooking perspective. This methodology takes your brands’ needs and converts them into consumer needs.
There’s so much for us to do together. I look forward to designing, building, strategies, creating, entertaining, educating, promoting with you; and most importantly, celebrating all that we’re about to accomplish.
Professional Cooking Life
Having 30 years of professional cooking experience, 18 of those years in many creative roles in the luxury culinary appliance world. I have had the honor of collaborating with extraordinary people and brands, cooking, designing, teaching, demonstrating and creating world-class cooking environments in executive leadership positions. Today I use all that I have learned about design and appliances to educate others on building the ideal kitchen with the perfect plate of food in mind. Electrification is entering a new phase in the world of building and architecture- efficient lighting, ventilation, induction, convection steam ovens, food preservation units (aka freezers and refrigeration) plus the most useful and efficient small appliance options exist to enhance your cooking experience, as well as the health of your home and our environment.
I collaborate directly with chefs, bakers, makers, farmers, organic, regenerative~organic~non-GMO food brands, healthcare providers, home appliance retailers & brand manufacturers to innovatively enhance brand visions. You’ll often find me crafting experiences for my clients that come alive for their clientele involving all of the aforementioned experts .
I teach sales teams and consumers how to gain the desired skills needed for improved health, personal lifestyle & or brand goals, attain cooking/ kitchen efficiencies and nurture them into becoming the most loyal and trusting purchasing agents for ease of use, matched values, quality, taste. Skills that improve your team or customers’ ability to identify your products that provide life skills to improve their knowledge base for overall lifestyle, land and human benefits. Gaining these skills gives freedom of choice, wealth in health, buying confidence that lives long beyond the social media marketing pressures and the trap of the grocery store mindset.
Organic, regenerative, sustainable food is a hot topic right now, but it’s something I have focused on throughout my 30 - year cooking career. And in that time, I have developed a reputation for anticipating future food trends, which allows me to provide on-trend recommendations to my consultancy clients.
My journey continually leads me to explore regenerative food systems — where our food comes from, how it’s grown, how it’s crafted, processed, and how it’s repurposed. My passion for helping others gain confidence in the kitchen allows me to help individuals find exactly what they need to live their “whole” lives & guide their decisions about food.
