Member Bio
Evan McHalffey & Nicole Moreno
For Chef Evan McHalffey, growing up on the island of Oahu immersed in Asian Pacific culture seemed commonplace at the time. After moving to the Midwest, the significance of being raised in Hawai’i became apparent. Going through high school surrounded by relatives in a town located directly between Chicago and Milwaukee, his Western European heritage began to shine through. Later enrolling in the French Culinary Institute and moving to New York City, curiosity and exposure to international customs was again broadened. This is where he met his eventual partner, both in business and in life.
Nicole Moreno brings an indispensable dynamic to Forty Twelve having a wealth of knowledge in the hospitality and marketing industry as well as the financial world. She represents the inspiration and motivation that keeps Forty Twelve on course in its pursuit.
