Jan was born and raised in Edmonton to Danish parents that immigrated to Canada in the early 1960s. It was in high school that a glimmer of talent was noticed, and his food sciences teacher encouraged Jan to pursue the field. Following a summer at the eminent Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Jan was well on his way to pursuing his passion in the food industry.
Jan’s culinary style draws inspiration not only from his European heritage, but also from the classical French cuisine and the many mentors he has had along the way. He is passionate about creative great food by sourcing quality local ingredients while forging relationships with local farmers to create a truly Canadian culinary experience. With nearly 30 years in the culinary industry, Jan has worked with coveted brand like the Glencoe Golf & Country Club and most recently, at one of Alberta’s beloved tourist attractions, Heritage Park. He is also Vice-Conseiller Culinaire of the Calgary chapter of the prestigious Chaine Des Rotisseurs.
