From Culinary School, to Marthas Vineyard, to Vail Colorado, and New England, I ran restaurants and have taught people how to cook my menus.
In 1993 I had the opportunity to become a private chef on Yachts and Schooners. I was able to travel the world doing what I loved, and all the while becoming a more well-rounded chef.
In 2018, I moved to Leland, Michigan, where I baked handcrafted gourmet bread, and worked as a consultant restaurant consultant. It was in nearby Traverse City that Shorties came into being. Each savory shortbread is hand crafted using a proprietary recipe that developed over many years.
Wineries, Distilleries, and Breweries
Shorties pair well with wine, beer, and other popular beverages. They are savory and flavorful. We offer dozens of unique flavors of shortbreads and crackers.
