I make, teach, and taste chocolate for a living—and I never stop learning from it. From bonbons in Santa Monica to cacao farms in Mexico, Ecuador, and Brazil, my mission is to connect people to the flavor and the story of chocolate.

I founded the Santa Monica Chocolate Society, I teach at The Gourmandise School, and I judge chocolate worldwide—but at the heart of it, I just want to help people understand what makes chocolate truly worth savoring.
