I am a well rounded person as well as Chef.

I am a professional chef for the google campus in Irvine and have been in the industry for 15 years. I currently run my own catering program as well as the catering program for America's Top Chef winner Hosea Rosenberg. I am the Food Service Director for the Google Campus in Orange County and previously was the Executive Chef at their brand new, 3rd largest campus in Boulder Colorado. I am well versed in many cuisines and love to create dishes of my own melding flavors from all around the world. I am flexible in my craft and will tailor a meal to whatever is wished of me by the client.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

my love language. There is nothing better then to see a swoony smile from a satisfied customer.

I learned to cook at...

as a child I learned from my Gigi, from her I learned the grace and love for food, then I learned the craft from the world renowned Escoffier.

A cooking secret...

staying calm, and carrying out the task with grace and ease.
