History
I began my work as a professional chef while working in the kitchen at the Esalen Institute in 2002, cooking directly from their farm and garden. After three years there as a baker, sous chef, head chef and manager, I would take my vacation days and come up to San Francisco to cater events for folks I'd met at Esalen who were inspired by the food there. When I left in 2005, I was excited to begin a business in the Bay Area using local farms in a similar way. In the summer of 2005 I was invited to co-produce the annual Eco-Farm conference where I was exposed to the 25 year legacy of organic farmers in California. It was then that I knew I wanted my catering company to serve as a platform in support of the progress of farm-fresh, local products. Later that year, I began as a chef at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center. In early '06, Forkfull was born and has impressed such clients as Michael Pollan, Rebecca Katz, and Ram Dass.
