THE LOCAL NAPLES WHAT IS THE SECRET TO YOUR LONG-TERM SUCCESS? I found something I love to do. I realized relatively early that there were some things I enjoyed doing and other things I didn’t. I enjoy my routine. I wake up every day excited to cook and create for my guests. I have a loyal staff and, most importantly, a supportive family.

WHO OR WHAT HAS INSPIRED YOU TO SUCCEED? My upbringing has inspired me. I grew up in a small farming community in Minnesota. We were very poor, and from a young age I learned the benefits of a strong work ethic. If you work hard enough you can achieve anything. I feel proud that I grew up that way, and those words of wisdom inspire me to continue achieving.

WHO OR WHAT HAS INSPIRED YOU TO SUCCEED? It is easy to be inspired to cook with beautiful produce from Inyoni Farms and Worden Farms, pork from Palmetto Creek Farm, and local seafood from Blue Star. I am inspired by the bounty Southwest Florida has to offer. Finally, my parents have been a big inspiration along the way. My mom taught me the fundamentals of cooking, and my dad taught me to never give up.
