Chef Bio

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I acquired a interest in cooking in 2005 while living in the Bay Area, having worked at two Michelin Star restaurants: The Village Pub and Trevese.  While at the Village Pub, my mentor, Mark Sullivan, laid the ground work for me to take my talents to “The Vintage Club” working under Master Chef Kevin Walker, while inheriting a versatile background in various cuisines. My experience also includes 15 years in the restaurant industry, including three years as a Private Chef.
