    Inspired Dining Events

    Inspired by sea and land and the bounties of Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, and Paso Robles. I have had a lifelong love of fine dining, where many of my best memories center around sharing food and drink with people that matter most to me.


    As a private chef, I am able to carefully craft individual and unique menu selections across numerous courses, craft cocktails, local wine pairings and of course, we often end the evening with a fine spirit and the tastiest of desserts.


    A restaurateur at heart, with decades of experience, including time at the Portland Culinary Academy, restaurant owner and operator in Santa Barbara, a master barman with countless guests served at a variety of fine dining establishments — helping to shape me into the chef and host I am today. Our team pays careful attention to every detail and meticulously labor to exceed guests expectations… often surprising and delighting them.
