Hi! I’m a military brat, born in Manhattan, Kansas and raised in New Mexico, Texas, Washington, D.C. and Maryland. After graduating from Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music with a BFA in Musical Theater, I packed up the Buick Century station wagon with wood panel siding and moved to New York City. To pay the rent between theater gigs, I hustled as a catering and private chef. My culinary career quickly took off and after meeting a food stylist at a birthday party, I permanently traded in a top hat and tap shoes for an apron and clogs.

I was a food editor with Martha Stewart Living for ten years, where I pitched, developed and styled hundreds of recipes, until the magazine was folded in May 2022. I also appeared on camera as host of the instructional series The Slice on YouTube. My food media career spans two decades across multiple platforms, including television (live, live-to-tape, series, SMTs, and commercial), magazine editorial, advertorial and advertising, cookbooks and live cooking demos. I’m an identical twin, always hungry and like to travel in search of delicious eats.
