Get to know me better

Passion, humility and integrity. I pride myself in holding on to these badges of honor!

With many years of experience in the hospitality industry, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to teams that earned a Michelin Star, a James Beard Award, and other notable accolades across different restaurants and states. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to learn from outstanding chefs who helped shape my craft and professional philosophy.

A turning point in my career came when Chef Andres invited me into his catering business and introduced me to the world of personal chef services. This new way of cooking and serving completely transformed my perspective, and I quickly discovered that this is where my passion truly lives.

Today, I bring everything I’ve learned from incredible mentors and culinary leaders into my own personal chef journey. My goal is simple: to create meaningful, memorable dining experiences and help you build lasting moments around the table.
