About

I am a professional chef with over 20 years of culinary experience specializing in sushi, nikkei, and latin american cuisine. I love to support and promote sustainable and regenerative seafood, farms, and agriculture. I took on the challenge in my sushi restaurant, Lucky Robot, in 2019. In 2020, the James Beard Foundation recognized us as leaders in the restaurant industry and awarded us with the designation of Smart Catch Leader.  The only one in the state of Texas!

Wild and farmed sustainable seafood options are more readily available than most chefs and consumers think! Cattle, poultry, and other livestock raised with regenerative farming practices just taste better. I would like to share the stories about the fisherman and farms that are helping protect and regenerated the oceans by celebrating the products they provide me.  

​

My focus is providing entertaining how-to videos that will include butchery, cooking techniques from Japan, Latin America, Nikkei, and sushi. Additionally, I will be sharing my journey and best practices in dry aging seafood!  Hop
