Sobriety Date 10/14/14
Co-owner and operator of Comedor, a Mexican restaurant in downtown Austin. Comedor was named among Esquire Magazine and Robb Report's top new restaurants in the US, as well as Restaurant of the Year for Texas Monthly, Austin Monthly, and Culturemap Austin. I am a 4x JBF Nom Outstanding Pastry Chef.
During the pandemic of 2020 William Ball and I founded Assembly, bringing the our local food and beverage community experience into your home and office.
I am very grateful to be the Austin chair for the Ben’s Friends group, a group putting sobriety in the Food and Beverage community first, as well as the founder of the Comedor Run Club, both of which strive to bring a balance of physical and mental health initiatives, into the hospitality community through a change in restaurant culture and living a healthy lifestyle.
