David Anderson began cooking at the early age of 14 in his hometown of Ketchikan, Alaska. Working his way up from tossing pizzas to kitchen management over the next several years, David discovered a passion for the people and environment in the industry. Deciding to make this his career, David moved to Portland, Oregon and enrolled in the Culinary Art program at Le Cordon Bleu. After graduating with honors, David worked his way through several award-winning restaurants, embracing Portland's farm to table ethos and made culinary journeys to Spain, Italy, India, and Mexico to learn more about their cuisines and culture. David's paths lead him to Executive Chef at some of Portland's best restaurants and hotels. In 2014, David moved to Denver to take on the Executive Chef position at the JW Marriot and has since opened and lead several hotels and restaurants in Colorado. In 2022, David made the move to off-site catering as the Executive Chef at Catering By design.
