Magnus's culinary journey began in his hometown of Calgary, AB, Canada, where he developed a love for cooking under the guidance of his father. From an early age, food has been central to Magnus's family, and his passion for the culinary arts has only grown stronger over the years. His diverse culinary experiences include working at renowned establishments such as Earls Restaurants, Cibo, The Glass Onion, Sean Brock’s McCrady’s, and Napa Valley’s former Terra Restaurant under the direction of celebrated chef Hiro Sone.

After completing his culinary education at the Culinary Institute of America, Magnus joined Clif Family Winery and Farm, drawn by the unique opportunity to work with our Bruschetteria Food Truck and the abundance of organic produce sourced directly from the Clif Family Farm. His commitment to cooking seasonally and utilizing high-quality ingredients aligned perfectly with Clif Family's culinary philosophy.
