He has trained under Sam Ross (Milk & Honey NYC and Atta Boy) and Phil Ward (Mayahuel). In less than five years in San Diego, he has helped open some of the city's most notable dining and imbibing establishments, including Craft and Commerce, El Dorado Cocktail Lounge, West Coast Tavern and Noble Experiment.
