After working in restaurants for many years, Christian gained a passion for helping others and developed an appetite for something more.

Born and raised in San Francisco, California he moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where he started his career in cooking. His talents range from scratch cooking comfort food to preparing modern cuisines from all around the world. In his role as Executive Chef at Beacon Crest, he can now incorporate his experience as well as the many techniques he has learned throughout the years to provide delicious and healthy scratch cooking for our residents.
