My love for food began early in life and has guided my journey ever since.  In my 30 years of professional cooking experience I have refined my skills and deepened my connection to the craft.  For 13 years, I have proudly served as a Maui private chef, offering high-end, thoughtfully prepared meals that showcase the best of what this island has to offer.

At Honu Cuisine, I personally source the highest-quality ingredients from people who share my commitment to sustainability and integrity.  Everything I cook is made from scratch, using organic, locally grown produce, wild-caught fish, thoughtfully raised meats, and heirloom grains.  At this level of freshness, it’s the care, the attention to detail, and the spirit of aloha that transform each ingredient into something truly memorable.

Over the years, I have developed my ability to create truly Elevated Private Dining experiences, whether for a relaxed family gathering, a destination wedding, or an exclusive corporate retreat. My style is warm, grounded, and detail-oriented, with a focus on bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and service that feels both professional and personal.

When you are hiring me as your chef, you are inviting someone who truly cares about making your gathering extraordinary.  When you sit down to a meal I have prepared, enjoying great food, you are experiencing my passion, integrity, and deep respect for Maui’s land and people. Because you deserve nothing less than a high level of care while you relax, connect, and enjoy Maui at its most flavorful.
