My journey in hospitality began over 20 years ago in Lincoln, California, when a restaurant job sparked a passion that would shape my career. After earning an athletic scholarship to William Jessup University, I continued in hospitality, learning from some of the industry’s finest at luxury hotels, intimate omakase dining rooms, and global culinary destinations—from Hollywood to Morocco.

At Faith & Flower in downtown Los Angeles, I trained under celebrated talents like Chef Kevin Hung, sommelier Jared Hooper, and bar director Ryan Wainwright, developing a deep appreciation for the details that create unforgettable guest experiences. My time at Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica, working alongside hospitality icons like Klaus Mennekes, Chef Gemma Gray, and Franke Savoy, further sharpened my approach to luxury service—centered around thoughtful surprises and seamless execution.

Later, I partnered with Chef Jeana Pecha and sake sommelier Tayler Pecha to launch a high-end omakase experience in Lincoln, where I served as Head of Hospitality and General Manager. Most recently, I transformed a local wine bar into an exclusive members-only social club, blending hospitality expertise with community building.

Today, I’m proud to bring world-class hospitality back to Northern California through McFerran Hospitality, offering wine pairing dinners, vineyard tours, and bespoke events that surprise, delight, and connect.

Let’s create something extraordinary together.
