Born and raised in Minnesota. Currently living in Maple Plain. Started cooking when I was 20 years old in Mankato while attending college. I have a Bachelor's degree in management and an associates degree in culinary arts. I've worked all over the Twin Cities. A couple notable restaurants: French Meadow, Cafe Lurcat, Meritage STP, and the Nicollet Island Inn. Been with Iron Exchange since it opened in 2019. I've been a resident of Maple Plain since 2016. I love cooking simply and with the freshest ingredients. In my free time I like to grow my own produce, tend my chickens, and spend time with my wife Kelly and my daughter Ava.
