About & Hobbies

I am a culinary trained chef with Michelin experience. I started cooking professionally at 16 and instantly fell in love with the fast-paced environment of professional kitchens. This drove me to work in some of the best restaurants in the UK, including “Dinner” by Heston Blumenthal - which was named the 6th best restaurant in the world during my time working there.

I am an all round chef with varied menus to cater for all dietary needs and culinary tastes. I have plenty of experience with menu planning, galley management and welcome face time with guests and owners if required. I thrive off cooking using quality ingredients and creating bespoke dining experiences for our guests.

My Michelin experience allows me to create modern twists on old favourites, while also being able to keep the crew happy with healthy salads, hearty dinners and crew BBQ's.

My next objective is to get back into a team environment with like-minded individuals in a busy galley.

My first love is obviously cooking and anything to do with food, travelling is a huge part of that for me, experiencing different cultures and foods. I am a very active outdoorsy person and love anything with a board be it surfing, snowboarding, longboarding and so on. when I'm not in the kitchen or out on a board I really enjoy making music or playing vinyl records from my ever growing record collection.
