I loved being in the kitchen with my Mom and Grandmother. Neither followed recipes, both were masters in creating flavor profiles that made an indelible impression on me.I left home when I was 16. Frustrated with life I left home.

Through a series of life events I found myself in Kansas City, MO. I was

homeless, jobless, penniless, had no family, but quite determined to not

go back home. I took a job washing dishes and learning to cook from the great

Turkish Chef, Frank Baruch. He had basic philosophies: do what you are told,

practice what you are taught, study other great chefs to become good, save

questions for when tickets aren't coming in, and there is a reason we have two

ears and one mouth. I had a love/hate thing for being his apprentice.

Years later I found myself in the precarious position of being a single dad raising three young boys (two in diapers). I

needed a business where I could control my schedule. After a brief failed

career in luxury design and furniture, I founded a specialty coffee brokerage

service in Seattle — the coffee capital of the country — and eventually became

an official coffee partner of the Seattle Seahawks / Seattle Sounders FC. At

one point we were given an opportunity to have the designation as the official

coffee of all Major League Soccer. Though grateful for such an opportunity, the

financial downside risk was too great so declined. Nevertheless, my reputation among

professional sports extended to renowned chefs, celebrities, corporate icons and

other VIP types. I was called on regularly to prepare food and serve my

coffees. This inspired me to create Cup of Luxury, an exclusive

luxury lifestyle brand of coffee offering independently rated five-star, 100-point coffees. We provide direct-to-consumer service, and remain private

membership focused. In 2012 I began infusing our coffees into my cooking/baking. I am now known throughout the world as THE COFFEE CHEF.Distinct Honors Include:World title holder, Luxury Coffee Roaster of the Year 2015, 2016, 20172018 Official Nominee, Luxury Coffee Roaster of the YearCelebrity Chef, Primetime Emmy Awards Tour, Private Dinners, FilmingCelebrity Chef, 89th Oscars Tour, Private Dinners, FilmingCelebrity Chef, 90th Oscars Tour, Private Dinners, FilmingCelebrity Chef, 91st Oscars Tour, Private Dining, FilmingVeteran James Beard Celebrity Chef Tour (3 tours)
