Chef Cole

Born and raised in Texas, my love for cooking began at hunting and fishing camps, where food brought people together around a fire or a table. My journey has taken me across the American West and beyond, refining my skills under mentors from around the world. I focus on ingredient-driven, technique-forward cuisine, inspired by a deep connection to the outdoors and a passion for exploration, adventure, and great food. 

Cooking on yachts allows me to combine my favorite things: creating unforgettable meals, meeting new people, and sharing genuine hospitality. Whether crafting simple, bold flavors or elevated, refined dishes, my goal is to make every dining experience as memorable as the journey itself. For me, food isn’t just about nourishment—it’s about connection and the stories we share over a great meal. 

When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll find me chasing new adventures—whether it’s snowboarding fresh powder, sailing open waters, or exploring the great outdoors. I thrive on new experiences, staying active, and living a balanced, healthy lifestyle that fuels my passion for life and the connections I make along the way.
