As native of the Chicago area, I was raised on a melange of culinary influences including southern Italian from my paternal influence, central European on his mom’s side, and Ukrainian cuisine courtesy of my stepfather. Over the course of my career, I have honed my skills in scratch-made regional Italian and New American food.
In my spare time, I can be found curating my vinyl collection, caring for my pride of cats, enjoying all manner of nature trails, or riding backcountry roads on my motorcycle. Come to my place any given Sunday for pasta night!
