After graduating, he worked at Clear Flour Bread in Brookline MA, learning traditional French, German, Italian, and Japanese methods. Upon moving to Philadelphia in 2021, he began working at Lost Bread Co, where he learned to bake with in-house stone-milled flour grown locally in PA. He currently works at Majdal Bakery in Queen Village, owned by former Lost Bread head baker Kenan Rabah.
