He joined Michelin Star Betony upon completion of his culinary degree and was part of the opening team at Villanelle, taking over head chef duties in November, 2017.

Villanelle is a passion project, 4 years in the making, of Greenwich Village resident and owner Catherine Manning. In an effort to support local businesses and farms, and the ethical food movement, she teamed up with a first rate staff trained at top NYC fine dining establishments, to serve some of the most delicious, well-sourced food, wine and cocktails available in New York City today.
