There’s a new Sous Chef in the kitchen! Please help us in welcoming Brent Benton to Shift.

Descended from one of Arizona’s pioneering families, Brent Benton carries on a culinary legacy that spans generations. He is the fourth-generation great-grandson of Josefina Picazo, a celebrated Arizona Chef and matriarch of the family behind several beloved Arizona restaurants, including Phoenix’s much-missed Los Compadres, which operated from 1958 to 2018, and Globe-Miami’s El Rey, a staple since 1939 that continues to this day. Brent’s passion for food began early. He grew up in restaurants, working in his family’s restaurant at just 13 years old.

He attended culinary school in Seattle, where he spent a decade working alongside several James Beard Award-winning chefs, including Caprial Pence and Ethan Stowell. After returning to Arizona, Brent continued to build his culinary career while maintaining a connection to Seattle, where he works as a private chef for one of the area’s most prominent families during major holidays and special celebrations.

When he is not in the kitchen, Brent enjoys spending time with his family, friends, dog, and fiancée, Kristen Strauss. A self-proclaimed sci-fi nut, he is also an avid rockhound and art collector, bringing the same appreciation for craftsmanship to his life outside the kitchen.

We are thrilled to welcome Danny Picard to our team here at Shift. He is coming on as our new General Manager and you may have already seen him during service the last few weeks.

Most recently, Danny served as Resort Sommelier and Wine Buyer for Enchantment Resort. His career also includes Mii Amo, a Relais & Châteaux property, Spago Maui at the Four Seasons Resort Maui by Wolfgang Puck, Domaine Serene Winery, and Portland City Grill. He has worked at numerous Forbes Four Star properties and, in 2025, hosted the Relais & Châteaux North American Conference. Beyond hospitality, Danny is a published author of three books on human consciousness and personal transformation and is currently writing Shaman in the Restaurant. He is an alchemical hypnotherapist, spiritual life coach, photographer, and teacher of ancient wisdom, energy medicine, and sacred geometry.

Danny is passionate about creating business systems rooted in abundance consciousness, self care, and a culture of thriving. He believes that when people care for themselves first, they bring greater presence, creativity, and connection to their work, benefiting everyone, especially the guests.

Outside of hospitality, Danny enjoys Arizona adventures, off roading, rockhounding, and exploring the landscape with house music as his soundtrack.
