I am a culinary educator, volunteer firefighter, and lifelong learner passionate about food, teaching, faith, service, and community. Through culinary education, I help students develop practical skills, creativity, confidence, and an appreciation for the cultural importance of food.
Outside the classroom, I serve my community as a volunteer firefighter and through my involvement in the United Methodist Church. I am married to Pastor Pam, and together we enjoy spending time outdoors and fishing. I value faith, family, service, and making a positive difference in the lives of others.
I bring a hands-on, creative approach to everything I do, with a focus on learning, leadership, service, and helping others grow.
