I am a professional chef with international experience, having worked in Spain, Italy, California, Colorado, and Arizona. I studied Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University in Denver before moving to Barcelona to join the team at ABaC, a prestigious 3-Michelin-Star restaurant. My career continued to evolve in fine-dining environments, including positions at Vespertine (2 Michelin Stars) and Dialogue (1 Michelin Star), where I refined advanced modern gastronomic techniques.

Today, I bring this level of expertise directly to my clients’ homes through my personal chef services. My work is driven by a passion for creating immersive culinary experiences that highlight unique flavors and inspirations from around the world.

For me, cooking is...

My passion is to inspire people the joy and importance of eating good food. I want to give people an experience that brings a smile to their face.

I learned to cook at...

I was fortunate to learn modern day cuisine from ABaC the 3 Michelin Star Restaurant in Barcelona, then at Vespertine the 2 Michelin Restaurant.

A cooking secret...

Handle food with care and love and use only the best ingredients for optimal flavor
