The Story of Me: Less ‘Masterchef,’ More ‘I Love Food’
If you're here, you probably saw me cook on the internet—thanks for sticking around.
I’m just a guy who loves to cook. Growing up, I spent hours in the kitchen with my grandparents, making simple, comforting foods like musubi and wontons. That’s what I aim for in my recipes: food that brings you back to a time when everything felt okay. It’s not about fancy techniques—just good, comforting meals that remind you of home.
When I'm not cooking, I’m hanging with my wife, our cats, and the family, and cold emailing SPAM. I’m also an educator, passionate about advocating for better policies for both students and teachers. In my downtime, I unwind with video games and movies.
At my core, I’m driven by the desire to make cool stuff, have fun, and use my successes to make a difference.
