Atlantic Grill Executive Chef

I come from South Berwick Maine, where my family has been farming for over 200 years. Growing up on a farm has given me the respect for the entire process of food production, from birth, to rearing, to harvesting, to cooking.

The farm has given me attention to detail, respect for ingredients and a vigorous work ethic. Cooking is about great ingredients first, technique second. Start with the best ingredients and you’ll find that it’s your job to make them shine.

I have forged deep connections with farmers and fishermen in my community, working to use their bounty, writing menus based on what was available and delicious, teaching guests that seasonal nose to tail eating is not only socially important, but also fun! I have worked in some amazing restaurants across New England, and am excited to be bringing my passion for delicious local cuisine here to Rye!
