“I was born in Camp Pendleton, Oceanside CA to two Marines. My Mother grew up in Absarokee here in Montana. My Father grew up in L.A. After moving frequently throughout my childhood I settled in Montana in 2012, where I started and graduated high school from Bozeman High/Bridger Alternative. My whole life I was surrounded by family that loved to cook and I looked forward to home-cooked meals no matter which household I was in. After dishwashing for sometime after high school I got a break as a prep cook, fell in love with cooking, and never looked back.”
