Hi! I'm the Founder and Chief Pizzaiolo of Pizza for Ukraine. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon, where I studied Political Science with a focus on national security and democracy promotion. After a career in IT, I pursued my passion for pizza in Naples, Italy where I trained as a pizzaiolo. Then when russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, I volunteered for World Central Kitchen in Poland. Afterwards I moved to Ukraine indefinitely to start Pizza for Ukraine.
Experiencing the war and working with Ukrainians has given me a profound focus that I will never shake off. Not a minute goes by without a great appreciation for what Ukrainians are fighting for, and the honor to serve them.
If you would like to support me personally on my volunteer mission, buy me a pizza!
Slava Ukraini! ππΊπ¦
