Matthew Mottor is a passionate chef and entrepreneur who turned a childhood curiosity for food into a thriving culinary career. From making mustard sandwiches as a preschooler to filleting fish he caught himself, Matthew’s early independence helped shape his relentless work ethic. He refined his culinary skills at Southern New Hampshire University and gained national recognition through competition, placing third in the United States at the 2005 SkillsUSA Culinary Competition, along with earning multiple medals in American Culinary Federation solo and team competitions between 2004 and 2009.

Matthew spent 13 years at Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, where he rose from Executive Chef to Food and Beverage Director, developing expertise in menu creation, operations, and team leadership. In 2020, he founded Berkshire Culinary Group, which has grown every year since its inception, and led the rebranding of Shire Breu-Hous into Shire Tavern. His mission is to create memorable dining experiences through thoughtfully crafted menus that evoke nostalgia, while building community and inspiring others through food.
