OurPhilosophy

I’ve held awareness in the value of a good meal and its ability to bring people together since I was a child. I attribute my wakefulness to this phenomenon to watching my mother cook for our family, and extending that hospitality to so many others. The smiling faces, laughter, and love shared around the table while eating together are still incredibly memorable.

These shared moments and memories planted the seed for my love for cooking, and developed over time in cooking for my own friends and family. I started creating my own traditions and memories, such as throwing money together with my college teammates and going to the store to prepare what we thought to be a five-star meal!

Gratefulness is what I experience when I think about the support I’ve received from my family and friends, particularly for allowing me to use their palettes to mold my culinary skills. Cooking has proven to be an expression of love and creativity for me, and represents my conceptualization of freedom. Being a retired professional athlete, it’s only natural that I bring that competitive nature to the kitchen; I want to score a touchdown at every event!
