About
Most of my clients book me again after our very first meal together—that’s the greatest compliment I can receive. With over a decade of experience as a personal chef, I’m here to bring your vision to life, whether it’s farm-to-table, regional/coastal, vegan, or something completely inspired by your own taste buds.
I focus on refined execution, consistency, and creativity with broad appeal. My background includes corporate catering and work in respected establishments such as The Refectory Restaurant in Ohio, a Michelin-starred Patrick Lenotre restaurant, and The Savoy Hotel. That experience carries over into every private dinner I create, from menu planning to professional kitchen management.
If you’re ready for a personal chef who listens, collaborates, and delivers memorable meals, I’d love to cook for you.

Chef Jeff was incredible. He and his staff were fantastic hosts for our private dinner. He did an incredible job of transforming our interests into a delicious meal that left us with plenty of leftovers and gave us the exact types of food we were looking for. He and his staff did a great job of not only cooking us a meal to remember but they also met the chemistry of our group and engaged our guests in just the right ways. Most importantly for me, Chef Jeff was always following up with me which gave me great confidence in him. Truly a night we won’t forget.

I had an amazing experience with Chef Jeff. He came through on a really short notice for my 50th birthday. What a kind person he is. Tell him you want the chicken skewers and pasta Primavera with whatever you’re having. It’s dynamite. I really wish I would’ve taken some pictures to share. I will definitely be using Chef again in the future.

From the discussion and planning stage to the end of the evening, Chef Jeff was outstanding in every way. He devised a fantastic menu loved by the 20+ attendees, directed the placement of the tent , table and chairs in a manner that promoted visiting and discussions during the incredible dining experience and took many pictures that he shared with us.
Chef Jeff is a wonderful person to work with and he was liked by all in attendance. I would recommend Chef Jeff to anyone seeking a well organized event that featured lots of delicious food.
