Get to know me better
A private chef who blends culinary training with intuitive creativity to craft refined, memorable meals rooted in Italian, Mediterranean, French,
Born and raised on the border by the sea in Brownsville, TX, amongst two cultures that helped shape my love of food from a very young age. Influenced by a family of foodies and chefs, cooking has always been an essential part of my identity and day-to-day life, and being able to share that with others is a passion of mine.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
For me cooking is communicating. Eating intentionally is an art and a language of its own. It’s rooted in culture, human experience, art, and vitality
I learned to cook at...
At home, among the best cooks I know. At my ranch with the ranch hands, and at Le Cordon Bleu. But mostly self taught and disciplined.
A cooking secret...
Intuition, sustainability, and attention to details. In my formative years, I spent many summers and weekends at my family’s ranch and orange grove.
