With more than 25 years of experience in the culinary and wedding industries, Brian has devoted his career to mastering the art of fine dining, building on his training at the world-renowned Stratford Chef School. As a former owner of a fine dining restaurant in London, ON, and a culinary professor at Lambton College for the last 11 years, Brian brings a deep passion for both the craft of cooking and mentoring the next generation of chefs.
But for Brian, food is more than just flavour, it’s personal. Diagnosed with a severe gluten allergy, he understands the challenges of finding delicious, safe, and satisfying gluten free options. That’s why he founded The GF Guys, a Sarnia-based startup focused on reimagining food favorites without gluten, ensuring that no one has to compromise on taste or quality.
Born and raised in Sarnia, Brian has brought his expertise home, determined to make gluten free dining more accessible and enjoyable. With a deep commitment to innovation and flavour, he’s proving that great food knows no boundaries, gluten-free or not.
