Daniel Marcenko brings over 21 years of culinary experience to Halo Ridge Recovery, having worked in a wide range of high-end kitchens throughout his career. A Red Seal Certified Chef, he further developed his craft through a one-year stage in Lyon, France, where he deepened his appreciation for thoughtful, nourishing food and intentional hospitality.
His approach to cooking is rooted in quality ingredients, balance, and the belief that food has the power to comfort, connect, and support healing.
Alongside his culinary background, Daniel has spent the past two years working in the recovery space as support staff, where he discovered a deeper calling toward holistic wellness and human connection. Passionate about the outdoors, wilderness, movement, and personal growth, he believes recovery is strengthened through structure, nutrition, community, and reconnecting with both nature and self.
At Halo Ridge, Daniel aims to create a food program that not only nourishes the body, but contributes meaningfully to each client's overall healing journey.
