I have been in the industry since I was 15, starting with a culinary regional occupation program in highschool. While in culinary school, I worked in kitchens such as Salt Creek Grill. After graduating with my degree in culinary I had the chance to work alongside my head chef opening up a high-end restaurant in my hometown called The Old Town Junction. Soon after I was recruited by a Michelin star restaurant in NYC's West village called Perry Street and had the honor of working with chefs like Jordan Andino and Grant Achatz. After that I found my place as a personal chef; a position I fell in love with because it combines my passion for food and people in a much more oriented and specific environment that allows me to deeper understand the clients wants and needs and constantly adapt and improve over time.

For me, cooking is...

Finding ways to tap into our primal need for food and the modern desire for pleasure helps me feel and spread joy of life one bite at a time.

I learned to cook at...

The Institute of Culinary Education in LA and have continued my education daily since, on my own and in Michelin rated kitchens.

A cooking secret...

An insatiable quest for perfection that drives me to be extremely self-critical and produce the best meals I possibly can.

Chef David's reviews

Chef David was phenomenal! His attention to detail was so impressive, as was his ability to make flavor pop off of the plate. David created a menu that worked for both me (vegan) and my partner (carnivore). As a consummate professional, he was also able to include details in the experience that were customized to my partner and me. Thank you so much! We will be back!
