As many others in this valley, Ross moved to Kelowna once he realized a place as beautiful as this existed in Canada.

Soon after he arrived, he was opening executive chef for Globe Tapas at Big White, and soon after Sun Peaks.

In 2010, Ross was offered the position of opening executive chef of Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort, where he was able to sink his teeth into the region, his focus being to use all products from the North Okanagan.

With a strong focus on understanding and using local and sustainable products, he was able to develop meaningful relationships with producers in the valley.

After Sparkling Hill, Ross had a brief tenure as sous chef of Delta Grand Okanagan, before he moved on to open his own small business 91裸聊视频� The Table Cafe and The Broken Anchor Food Truck.

Over the past five years, Ross have been able to get involved in the community in various events to help make the Okanagan a better place 91裸聊视频� such as Earth Wind Fire for Natures Trust, Feast in the Field supporting Farm Folk City Folk.
