I would like to bring farm to table ingredients sourced from the Pacific Northwest to the North Seattle Neighborhood of Ballard. I have been inspired by trips to Europe, Asia, and other regions around the world and would like to bring a piece of each to Seattle.

About

My desire to be a chef interestingly enough came later in life by chance. I have always spent a considerable amount of time enjoying restaurants. My brother and I have always tried to go to a new restaurants to find new and exciting eats. It wasn't until I got out of the military, that I had really considered a career in the industry. After 6 long years in the Navy, I came home and my brother had become a chef. Not only was I attracted to the idea of experimenting with food, but the atmosphere of interacting with other chefs from around the city. Being able to meet, and experience new foods, and stlyes of cooking was exactly what I was looking for. I would go out for beers with him and other chefs from the Seattle area and realized i had to do this. We both started talking and decided that we wanted to open our own restaurant together.
