Los Angeles, CA
Culinary craft meets cocktail culture, bringing bold flavors and a chef's touch everywhere I go.
I'm a Los Angeles-based chef and bartender with a passion for pushing food and drink to their most expressive forms. Formally trained in both culinary arts and mixology, I bring a rare dual perspective to every kitchen and bar I step behind.
Behind the bar I craft cocktails that match the energy of the room, and on weekends my Smash Burger and Skinny Fries pop-up moves through LA's live music venues, feeding the crowd something they won't forget.
My cooking philosophy is simple: take a classic, understand it deeply, then make it undeniably yours. That's the IAMOMNI approach and I'm always open to the next collaboration that pushes it further.
Craft cocktail service at one of LA's most celebrated music and dining destinations, where the vibe is as important as the drink in the glass.
Weekend smash burger pop-up with hand cut skinny fries and an IAMOMNI twist. Rotating through LA's music venues, every stop a new crowd with the same commitment to quality.
Weekend pop-up - Music venues - All over LA
More than a burger, it's a statement. Born from culinary training and a love for LA's live music culture, this pop-up brings a chef-crafted smash burger and hand cut skinny fries experience to venues that deserve premium food.
Every stop is a one-night-only experience built around fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and my own twist. No two events are exactly the same.
Both credentials come from respected Los Angeles institutions built on real-world curriculum, not just theory. I trained to be equally at home behind the stove and behind the bar.
Hands-on culinary training covering classical technique, kitchen operations, flavor development, and professional cooking standards. A foundation built for a working kitchen.
Professional bartending certification covering mixology, cocktail construction, spirits knowledge, bar management, and customer service in a fast-paced, real-world environment.
Whether you're a restaurant looking for a creative chef, a venue that wants to bring the pop-up to your crowd, or a brand that needs a skilled bartender for an event, I'm here for it.
I bring the same level of craft whether I'm behind a bar or behind a flat-top. Let's build something together.
