With over 15 years dedicated to my craft, I’ve refined my skills in Michelin-starred restaurants and 5-star, 6-diamond hotels such as St. Regis and Mandarin Oriental. My journey has been shaped by mentorship from culinary icons including Thomas Keller, Wolfgang Puck, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten—an experience that built my deep understanding of gastronomy and my relentless commitment to excellence.

I design original menus inspired by my worldwide culinary research, and I take care of everything: shopping, cooking, plating, serving, and spotless cleanup. My promise is consistent quality, meticulous cleanliness, and an experience that exceeds expectations with every dish.

I cook Chef's special, Local, Seafood/Fish, French, Mediterranean and Italian. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is.
