Cooking has always been part of my life. Growing up, I found joy in preparing meals for family gatherings, church events, and neighborhood cookouts. That early love of food became a way to give back—organizing community fundraisers and bringing people together one plate at a time.

My passion turned professional when I started cooking BBQ to support local youth sports. That led to a surprise win in a Houston gumbo contest, which opened the door to catering opportunities and eventually, personalized private chef experiences. Every dish since has carried the same purpose: to make people smile and feel at home.
