I have been a yogi for almost as long as I have been a chef. I started doing hot yoga in 2001 and to this day, it is my go-to for relieving stress as well as strengthening and aligning my body. I love to get on my mat and give myself a moving meditation to sweat out everything that is not serving me. As a chef, we need to make sure we take care of our physical and mental health to be able to give our clients the very best every day.
I love yoga!
Nothing makes me happier than hanging out with my dog, Truffles. She is an 8-pound rescue chihuahua mix.
We call her the little Diva. I make her dog food for her homemade with organic grass-fed beef. She came with the name but it fits her perfectly, she is my little nugget.
Dogs are my favorite thing in the world
Sometimes we go off-grid where there is no service. It can be hard to be so out of touch, but it also gives me a reset and allows me to truly rest.
It's important to disconnect from everything sometimes and being in nature is very healing. It also provides me inspiration for my chef work.
My family and I have an RV and we like to drive it to places like state parks and go camping
My mom and stepdad and my brother and sisters all live there. My sister and brother-in-law raise cattle and grow hay among many other things on the land. It is a lot of fun to go visit and drive all over the property. We don't get to do things like that in California!
My family has a farm in Maryland with over 350 acres
