He loves to be a part of the community and is heavily involved in Destin Wine Charity, Alaqua, CVNH, Emeril Lagasse Foundation.

Wild Olives came to fruition in 2006 from his passion for food and wine. He loves to pair the two to enhance the experience of dining. He enjoys allowing his guests, who quickly become friends, to experience new wines and varietals at his weekly wine tasting. His new luxury wine program allows his guests to enjoy amazing wines by the glass or taste; some of the wine pours include Silver Oak Napa, Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, Odette, and Cade.

“Walking through my dining room, my favorite thing to see is the expressions on peoples faces when they taste the food with a paired wine selection I chose for them. There is nothing else like it, I am truly honored for an opportunity to get to do what I love every single day”
