Get to know me better

A approachable relaxed professional who loves seeing people have a great time.

I have spent 20 years cooking in Michelin-starred kitchens and aboard superyachts up to 101 metres — trained under acclaimed chefs, trusted by private owners and high-profile guests worldwide. Now based in Perth, he brings that same precision and care to private dining, offering bespoke menus across Mediterranean, Asian, Middle Eastern, and modern global cuisine for intimate events and special occasions.
