At age 16, he made his debut as a chef at Le Caveau d'Eguisheim alongside One Michelin Star Chef Pascal Schubnel. He then gained valuable experience at Three Michelin Star L'Auberge de l'Ill before leaving for Paris to work with celebrity chef Ghislaine Arabian at the Three Michelin Star restaurant Pavillon LeDoyen.

After many years of developing his techniques, Chef Ziegler traveled abroad and, in 1995, he arrived in the United States where he held various positions at numerous Five Star hotels and resorts including the Mandarin Oriental Miami, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, the Delano Hotel Miami with Chef Claude Troisgros and The Peninsula Chicago with award-winning chef Curtis Duffy.

In 2008, enticed by the exotic flavors and spices of Asia, he joined Wynn Macau as culinary director assistant. Chef Ziegler furthered his travels in Asia serving as executive chef at lebua Hotels & Resorts in Bangkok and New Delhi and, most recently, the executive chef at Pullman Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Chef Ziegler studied French Culinary Arts in Alsace and holds a Master Certificate in Hospitality Management from eCornell.
