FIRE. Fire is a tool, a teacher, a builder and a destroyer. Ever present in nature, fire is there to tip the scale when things get out of balance. Thereās something printed in our DNA to be drawn to it. I am obsessed with harnessing this elemental force to cook with, unlocking new levels of flavor, texture and aesthetic. Itās a transformation right before your eyes every time. Balance and transformation is what I keep coming back to. This technologically fueled world bogs me down sometimes. I get overwhelmed trying to make sense of it all and cooking with fire is something that always brings me back to earth.

I had the good fortune of a successful sheep hunt in Hawaii with help from @keeganrice in December. Hereās one of many ways Iāve been enjoying the harvest.
Sheep burgers!
Start by slowly caramelizing some onions, when theyāre done set em aside. Ball up handful sized burger balls. Hot castie, sizzle, season, smash
While thatās going, toast your buns in plenty of olive oil & butter. Flip your patties, add your onions followed by your fave chz and cover. Went with sharp cheddar.
Assemble.. bang some secret sauce on both sides of your bun( mine was ketchup, mayo, little soy sauce, chopped up dill pickles) build your burger & throw something green & crispy like arugula or shredded lettuce on top.
Itās hard to beat a good wild game cheeseburger, enjoyyyyš«”
A few of my favorite memories from last winter amongst great friends, deep powder and the best of times!
Exactly a year ago today I had a tube in my chest stuck in a hospital bed in Mexico. Man, how life can change in an instant! Iāve come a long way since.. from Japan to Alaska, Puerto Rico to Hawaii, insanely grateful for every adventure this past year and those Iāve gotten to share them with. Health, community, passions, Iām not taking a single shred of it for grantedšāāļø
Couldnāt be more excited for the winter ahead and Iām ready to pounce as soon as the ol man shows upš

Missin the snow shred even though summer is really epic!.. Hereās my first line of the trip in Alaska this April and it was one to remember for a long time. I dropped in off the ridge and followed the spine panel. We had gotten a quick refresh and knew the snow would be reactive but made the decision that it was manageable with clean exits.. As anticipated a small pocket ripped out about 6 inches deep. It shed right and I went left staying on high ground. Ultimately felt solid about the line choice and how I rode it. Skiing in Alaska is incredibly humbling and Iām eager to keep learning. Glad this one worked out and grateful for all the good days inna di mountains!
