When he isn’t in his kitchen, you can spot him cycling on River Road or training for the Texas Ironman at the LSU Lakes. He was the Louisiana Chef to Watch in 2011 and has been featured in numerous national and regional publications. He sites three major professional accomplishments in his life…Opened Beausoleil at the age of 28; 2011 Louisiana Chef’s to watch; and cooked at the James Beard House.
