Chef John

I’m a private chef with 15 years in the culinary industry and an honors graduate of Auguste Escoffier. I grew up in southwest Iowa, and those roots still guide how I cook: approachable flavors, strong fundamentals, and food that feels both elevated and comforting.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to cook for many musicians, including Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Kane Brown, Cody Johnson, Post Malone, Jelly Roll, Hank Williams Jr., Willie Nelson, and more. I bring that same focus and professionalism to every table I serve.

Cooking is my passion and my lifestyle.

What you get when you book me

Passion in every plate

Cooking is my passion and my lifestyle, and I bring that energy into every detail—from prep to plating—so your meal feels truly special.

Rooted in real-life cooking

I learned to cook at home, watching my mom and grandma. That foundation shapes how I build flavor: honest ingredients, proven methods, and food that makes people feel taken care of.

Technique with purpose

Technique is not just a word—it’s a tool. I use it to make every dish cleaner, more balanced, and more consistent, so you can taste the difference in every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 218.75 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Local, Italian, Chef's special and Latin American. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
