It all started when Chef DeCamp was growing up in Minnesota. When he was just 17 he began working for Chef Tim McKee at D’Amico Cucina. Here he was given the nickname, “Young Chef,” one that still remains with him. Shortly following, he worked for many highly-regarded restaurants including Campiello, Chez Foley, and La Belle Vie.

In 2002, he was given the opportunity to work at the acclaimed NoMi in Chicago. During his time there, Chef DeCamp added to his skills and experience by volunteering in several of the city’s top restaurants including Tru and Charlie Trotters. In 2005, Chef DeCamp returned to the Twin Cities and rejoined Chef McKee at La Belle Vie where he remained until joining the Jester Concepts team in 2015 to open and lead Monello and Constantine.

Today, he also heads the executive team at Jester Concepts where he brings a deep knowledge of hospitality insights to the team and helps in pushing the team to their greatest potential.
