I am a man of dual passions. Cooking and hunting. As a chef I have cooked for over 15 years in professional kitchens – everything from frog legs at Gary Dankos to Chicken Parm in huge hotels. While a chef I gathered a reputation (among other things) for my wild game preparations. My cooking picked me up accolades and awards along the way. Email me, I can tell you all about it.
It is wild game that truly inspires me. I live to hunt. When I am not hunting I am thinking about hunting. When I am not thinking about hunting I am most likely cooking. It is the connection of those two passions that I thrive in. The razors edge of my life.
I am also a dedicated father of three boys, a husband who gets in trouble for having “dead things” on the counter top and an Outdoor and Food writer. I have been published in Outdoor Life, Cooking Wild, Restaurants and Institutions and many others. I am a reporter for the Boise Weekly and a columnist for Northwest Sportsman Magazine. The blank page terrifies me but I look forward to telling others about food and hunting each time I sit down to write.
Connecting the dots of my passions are two projects, both called Chef in the Wild. One is a book and the other is a video series. Look around this website and you are bound to find out more.
When I am not out in the woods, I am making a mess behind the stove.
Much love and thanks for taking a look.
