When cooking, he draws on experiences that began with his roots in East Texas, which he calls one of the best melting pots of cuisine in the country. After circumnavigating the globe in the United States Navy, it was seeing how food brought people together, transcending cultural and language barriers, that led to a passion for the food and hospitality industry. For over a decade he worked in the front-of-house, with some intermittent stints in kitchens, then seriously committed to his passion of cooking by attending Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, TX in 2014. Having cooked in San Diego, Austin, and New York City, he has spent several years cutting his teeth in the Charlotte culinary scene. He is thrilled to join Foxcroft Waverly  and see what kind of Mediterranean inspired fare he and his team can create!
