Executive Chef Christopher Pierce brings to Greens Point Catering a passion for food and for giving back to the community in which he lives. As with most of the top chefs in the industry, Chef Pierce began his culinary journey working in kitchens by the age of 16. He has since worked in the kitchens of such culinary notables as Marcus Samuelsson, Grant Achatz, Guiseppi Tentori and John Platt. Locally, Chef Pierce’s work at Q’s, Tahona Tequila Bistro and Magnolia Steak & Seafood garnered much interest before he embarked upon a two year tour as chef to the artists of Cirque du Soleil’s KOOZA. Chef Pierce’s use of seasonal, local and sustainable ingredients set his creations apart. Since joining Greens Point Catering, he has created our monthly charitable wine dinners and participation in the Longmont Farmers Market. He looks forward to creating an amazing menu and meal for you!
