He attended culinary school at the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, NY, where he honed his skills and developed an even greater appreciation for the craft. After graduating in 2015, he moved directly to Chicago to work at the acclaimed Blackbird restaurant, working his way up through the ranks at Blackbird, finishing his time there as Executive Sous Chef. Throughout his journey, he collaborated closely with Ryan Pfeiffer on an evolving menu, playing a vital role in achieving numerous Michelin stars.

He now holds the position of Executive Chef at Dusek’s Tavern, Punch House & Tack Room.
