I bring positive energy and yacht-level execution to every table I cook for.

Chef John

I was born in Detroit, Michigan, and I started cooking early—by 14 I knew food was my passion. I’ve been cooking for 18 years, and I’m extremely experienced, adaptable, and focused on delivering a meal that feels effortless for you and unforgettable for your guests.

For the past five years I worked as head chef on several superyachts, where consistency, organization, and high standards are non-negotiable. Whether you want a tasting-style experience or a relaxed family-style service, I’m here to cook exactly the way you want to dine.

Cooking is never ending—love, learning, and passion.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with love, curiosity, and momentum

For me, cooking is never ending—love, learning, and passion. I keep pushing flavors, techniques, and presentation so every course feels alive and intentional.

I’ve built my career through real kitchens and formal training

I started in a restaurant 23 years ago and never looked back. I also studied culinary school in the south of France, and I bring that foundation into everything I cook today.

I believe the real secret is discipline

I’ll keep my secret to myself, but I can tell you what I never compromise on: cleanliness. A spotless kitchen, sharp organization, and calm execution are part of my philosophy every single time.
