David Nowakowski:
Growing up in a large Italian family in Buffalo NY, David was surrounded by great food at an early age. After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Construction Management, he moved to Vail to explore the west. After 10 years, David realized his true love was cooking and left the construction industry to work at Larkspur in Vail where he received his culinary education "hands on”. He then moved on to become the Executive Chef and Director of the Cooking School of Vail at the Savory Inn. His path in the culinary world has taken him to open the Valley’s first gourmet food truck the Crazy Wagon, and stints as Chef de Cuisine at Vista at Arrowhead and the Timber Hearth in Cordillera. David is a passionate locavore and enjoys bringing the finest Colorado food, produce and products to the table. His philosophy is to remove the mystery surrounding much of cooking, and to make it approachable to all levels of diners. When not in the kitchen, David enjoys spending time with his wife and 2 teenage daughters snowboarding, hiking, biking, traveling, camping and cheering the kids on in their respective sports. In the evenings you can find him on his deck with a frosty IPA in his hand and some great food on the grill!

Leighton Keith:
Leighton grew up in Enid, Oklahoma with his three siblings Jeanne, Alec, and Heather. After moving away from his hometown worked in various kitchens and summer camps before falling into teaching preschool. His love for working with children took him to run a summer camp in New Hampshire. He went on to do educational non-profit work and teach preschool for five years in New Hampshire, and Colorado. Most recently he taught for two years at Red Sandstone Elementary School! Although he loved teaching he always had a passion for food and cooking, which led him to work part-time at Cut Edwards. After learning how much he loved working in a butcher shop he transitioned to full-time.
