Introduction
With a passion for clean, flavorful cooking and a deep love for creating memorable experiences, I bring a personalized, elevated touch to every meal. Whether you're looking for a private dinner party, healthy vacation meal prep, or a fun pasta-making class, I tailor everything to your tastes and dietary preferences using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.
I’ve worked as a private chef for families, created custom menus for special events, taught hands-on classes at Sur La Table, and even competed as a runner-up on Guy’s Grocery Games—so you can trust that you're in creative, capable hands. Through my lifestyle brand, Paleoish, I specialize in Paleo-inspired and farm-to-table cuisine, but I love working across all styles to bring your vision to life.
I take pride in thoughtful planning, beautiful presentation, and always leaving guests feeling nourished, inspired, and well taken care of.

Chef Dave is incredible. He prepared a sous vide and pan seared filet mignon with a bourbon mushroom cream sauce, 4 cheese au gratin potatoes, and a grilled lemon butter asparagus, homemade crème brûlée topped with a Chantilly Cream and mixed berries.
Everyone at our dinner party raved about the food. Chef Dave was so easy to work with and made my special evening with our neighbors a huge success.

Chef Dave is incredible. He prepared a 16-person meal for my wife’s birthday party. The food was out of control and the experience was magnificent. Everyone savored each bite and made comments all night about how magical the experience was.
Chef Dave prepared these spicy fish tacos that accompanied homemade pork tamales. The tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had. He made a special kind of Hawaiian style slaw with homemade tortillas. The entire meal was meticulously planned out and executed to perfection. I will hire Chef Dave many more times for our family events. He’s the bomb.
