About
I am a well-trained cook of various dish styles as well as an entertainer; between working in the kitchen and watching the bands play in my family’s restaurant and venue hall, I’ve developed a love for both. I’m the former owner of Dot’s Dogs Food Truck, which was a casual fare unit focused on fast and high-quality product and service. I’m now offering private catering and chef services, in addition to music booking.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Learning their preferences for product and presentation is a must. I will ensure the best possible product I can provide will be the talk of the event!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
A lifetime of experience working in a southern style restaurant and motel (in addition to a few others) has instilled the core values of customer service in me. I have learned to prepare many traditional, fusion and comfort dishes, along with my own brand of speedy and happy service.
How did you get started in this business?
My family owned a restaurant growing up; one of my first memories was helping my grandma crack eggs into a pot for the breakfast buffet! Growing up around food and developing a true love for it has definitely given me an edge over the competition, and you will not be disappointed in my final product!
What types of customers have you worked with?
1 to 500 plate dinners, buffets, southern style serving, and personal catering to customers of all backgrounds.

I catered a private event on an island in the Chesapeake Bay. Complimented by beautiful views, a soul band, and a crowd of folks that were in and out of line quick led to a successful event with satisfied clientele.
