Chef in Omaha, Nebraska

With a foundation rooted in Omaha and a passion for global flavors, I bring a world of experience and a family-focused approach to private dining. As a five-time James Beard Award nominee and the former owner of an acclaimed restaurant, my work has been celebrated in Time Magazine, Bon Appetit, Savour, Wired Magazine, and Travel and Leisure. I’m committed to sourcing the finest organic ingredients and crafting meals that not only nourish but also bring people together. Cooking is as much about care and quality as it is about flavor, and I carry these values into everything from elaborate fine dining experiences to family-friendly weekly meal planning. With a love for diverse cuisines, I aim to create meals that suit both individual preferences and shared family moments. I am currently seeking a long-term private chef arrangement with an individual or family, providing personalized, memorable meals that reflect a deep respect for food and its impact on our well-being.
