  My career with the Quirk Hotel in Richmond Virginia started as a line cook in 2017. After two years I left in 2019 for an opportunity as Sous Chef to The Roosevelt. In February 2020, I returned to what was Maple & Pine Restaurant as the Executive Sous Chef under the guidance of the much-respected Chef David Dunlop. After returning from the Covid 19 shut down, I found myself at the helm of the newly envisioned Quirk Hotel restaurant, The Lobby Bar, as the Executive Chef. With an opportunity to reimagine our space and concept, we decided to reopen with a share plated Mediterranean focused concept. Like most restaurant during this trying time, we have managed great success both financially and operationally. Show less
