I’m an Executive Chef with over 25 years of experience leading culinary operations for high-end fine-dining restaurants in the U.S. and abroad. I bring a hands-on approach to menu development, operational streamlining, purchasing, staff training and mentorship, and cost control—so every event runs smoothly from prep to the last course.

After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2009, I became deeply knowledgeable and highly attentive to food allergies and dietary restrictions—especially gluten-free cooking. I plan and cook with care so everyone at the table can relax and enjoy the experience.
