Following a highly successful career in financial software, Dan boldly decided to pursue his love of food and cooking through an apprenticeship with Chef Jamie Kennedy, who at that time operated the renowned Palmerston Restaurant in Toronto. Dan completed his formal culinary education at the Stratford Chefs’ School, and an apprenticeship at the highly regarded Rundles Restaurant. He has worked as a chef and instructor in Canada, the U.S. and the Caribbean. Recently he was executive sous chef at the Royal Ontario Museum restaurant and is co-founder of the popular Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar.

Dan has championed the use of local produce, meats, fish, cheeses and wines since he began his love affair with food. For him, the flavours and freshness say it all.
