I craft modern island cuisine rooted in Hawai‘i’s traditions

Image alt description

I’m a Hawai‘i-born chef and founder of Elite Cuisine & Catering, bringing over 13 years of experience shaped by the islands’ diverse food traditions. Growing up in a family centered around food gave me a deep appreciation for how meals bring people together and celebrate culture. That inspiration led me to train with diverse chefs and refine a style that blends cultural authenticity with modern techniques. Across restaurants, catering, and private dining, I create dishes that connect people to both place and tradition.

My philosophy is simple: use fresh, locally sourced ingredients to showcase the unique taste of Hawai‘i and give guests an unforgettable dining experience. With passion, professionalism, and dedication to my community, I design menus for engagements, weddings, birthdays, multi-course dinners, and corporate events—always focused on elevating the moment and creating connection through food.
