A few things about me: I’m an adventurer, a painter, and a big believer in a long hike followed by an even better meal. My favorite Saturdays are spent discovering a new trail and heading home to prep a massive charcuterie board or something fresh out of the oven for my friends.

I’ve always found that my best ideas come when I’m actually out doing things—whether that’s chasing a view, messing around with oil paints, or finally perfecting a frosting technique. I’m just a huge fan of good company, great food, and a solid creative challenge.
