Despite having three sisters, Joe was taught to cook by his mother, Paula, who believed in cooking everything “from scratch”. He got his first cooking job at the age of 15 at the local ski area. After working in various restaurants and two years of college, Joe joined the United States Army Infantry. He spent the next four years traveling as a soldier and NOT appreciating the food! In 2001, Joe moved to Phoenix where he enrolled in the Scottsdale Culinary Institute while working at area restaurants including the acclaimed Sapporo. Following graduation, Joe moved back to Washington and was hired by Herbfarm restaurant. There he learned to grow, appreciate and cook with herbs as well as the freshest and highest quality food available. Joe brings with him a fondness for the wonderful wines of Washington as well as his wife Jessica, who is living out her dream to be a Ski Bum!
