I’m a proud Michigander born and raised, but Chicago is my home and favorite city. I grew up in a restaurant family full of food and wine lovers and feel lucky to have found a career that celebrates both.
My most special memories—past and present—center around hosting friends and family for incredible meals. When I’m not eating for work (or fun), I’m an avid reader, traveler, and design enthusiast who drags my family on as many Chicago architectural tours as they will tolerate.
Favorite guilty pleasure food: French fries
Favorite food destination: Paris
Favorite pastime: Al fresco dining when the Chicago weather allows it.
