Chef Spotlight


Justin Schwarz - Director of Culinary Operations

About the Chef
With formal training from Pikes Peak State College, our Director of Culinary Operations brings years of refined technique, leadership, and creative vision to the club’s dining program. His culinary journey began with a formative internship under Chef Chip Johnson at The Briarhurst Manor Estate, where he honed his skills while working alongside several distinguished chefs in Colorado Springs.
He later contributed to the successful opening of a prominent Colorado Springs steakhouse before joining Marriott International, where he expanded his leadership experience within a high‑performance hospitality environment.
Advancing to Executive Sous Chef at the Garden of the Gods Resort and Club, he oversaw a wide range of high‑volume operations—banquets, à la carte dining, staffing, training, food and labor cost management—and ultimately led all culinary operations as Head Chef of the Kissing Camels Club.

Why I Became a Chef
“I became a chef because I have a passion for creating experiences through food. From an early age, I was drawn to the artistry of flavors, the precision of technique, and the joy of sharing meals. Cooking allows me to blend creativity and leadership, challenge myself in fast‑paced environments, and craft dishes that leave a lasting impression. Ultimately, I became a chef to inspire, to mentor, and to continually innovate in the kitchen.”


Fun Fact
“My first dish was cooked on a grill, and it taught me two important lessons: food sizzles more than you expect, and smoke alarms have far less patience than you think. Despite the chaos—and the smoke—the dish somehow turned out delicious. That moment sealed my fate: the kitchen was where I belonged.”


Chef’s Quote
“If you see China on the check, you’re not going on a trip!”
