Being the official chef for Our Ohio is a marvelous and exciting opportunity for me to keep in touch with my culinary roots. Having been born and raised in Europe, I grew up with a passion for fine food and wine. In recent years, my focus has moved toward creating a connection between fine food and healthy living.

After 15 years as the owner of a catering business, and 30 years overall in the food and beverage industry in Ohio, I am excited about using my expertise from these varied experiences to develop new recipes for healthy living and a busy lifestyle.

My goal is to establish connections between Ohio’s producers and consumers by seeking out the best and freshest from Ohio’s abundant array of fresh food products and creating excitement about using these products as important ingredients in good eating for a healthy lifestyle.

Although my hobbies of course include cooking and wine tasting, along with photography, gardening, and travel, my favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon is to whip up several dishes in the kitchen with the help of my two sons, 16-year-old Alex and 13-year-old Jacob. They learned to “slice and dice” at an early age, and both enjoy and appreciate a wide range of cuisines. Cooking is a marvelous family activity (even my wife, Natalie, has been known to join in); food preparation can be simple, creative, quick . . . and fun!

Through my affiliation with the Ohio Heart Association, I have become even more aware of the importance of fresh food, healthfully prepared, and its contribution to the goodness of life. What a wonderful gift to give our families—an appreciation for the bounty of the earth and a “recipe” for life-long healthy eating.
