Stories are better told at the table...
but we can start here.My mind and body require me to be active and work with my hands, and I never stop moving (unless I'm falling asleep on my wife's shoulder). There is nothing more grounding than sinking my bare feet into the grass. I curse like a sailor and I can't do math. My favorite meals are the ones I get to cook for my family. At Herban Harvest, I cook the way we eat at home. I would love to cook some of my favorite meals for you!
Really important stuff:
- My wife and I have nearly 60 house plants and counting. Their names are Caroline, Eugene, Bernadette, Collins, Dotty, Betty, Wanda, Philly…….
- I love to be outside. Let's travel anywhere and everywhere.
- I despise food waste and I love to find ways to use every piece of something. Yes, I'm going to serve you the whole leek. And it's going to be delicious!
- Whether it's cooking for 10,000 people out of tent, or doing a 10 minute glute bridge just because someone said I couldn't, I never back down from a good challenge. AKA I'm stubborn.
- I am a LESBIAN and I'm someone's forever person/wife.
- I uprooted myself from everything I knew in St. Louis, Missouri to come out here where the mountains meet the ocean. And Portland will always be home.
- I have excellent attention to detail (ADHD), which is mostly a good thing. But if I pick one weed, I'll be in the yard for 2 hours finishing the job (and yes, I'd probably be willing to come pick yours too).
- I'm a bonus mom to two littles, Bennett and Laney, which is the best thing that I never knew I wanted.
- Snapbacks are life.
- Go Thorns!
Because life is too short to eat bad food.
