Sheldon talks the Hawaiian talk and loves to cook with local island ingredients, but is confident when competing against Mainland chefs. The Executive Chef of Star Noodle in Lahaina, Sheldon is a two-time James Beard semifinalist -- for Rising Star and Best New Restaurant, both in 2011. Also in 2011, Maui Nokaoi Magazine named him Chef of the Year. Food & Wine Magazine named Sheldon Best New Chef People's Choice nominee in 2012. He learned his basic culinary skills at Disneyworld, where he also met his wife, but his competitive nature has ensured his continued success that has landed him all of these accolades.

Sheldon recently competed in "Top Chef: Seattle," coming in third place.
