Chef Dan has decades of culinary experience - from family owned to Michelin star restaurants.
His love for cooking is influenced by his family's travels - including Japan, France, Portugal, and more. With his wife's family's Hawai'i roots going back generations, he has spent years embracing the bounty the islands have to offer and brings together local vibrancy with creativity and inspiration.
His steadfast belief in supporting local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen has culminated with his creation of Pā'ina Pantry, offering an array of private services to the Kailua Kona community and beyond!
